Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry

Glera & Glera-based Blends

Made from perfectly ripe hand-harvested Glera grapes from the hilly part of Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. The first fermentation with selected yeasts develops aromas of apricots pears and wild flowers. These intense, fruity aromas are preserved through the second fermentation, which takes place in large temperature controlled stainless steel containers.

Tasting Notes

Bright straw-yellow in color with an elegant and finely textured perlage, Extra Dry offers layered aromas of orange blossoms, lemongrass, peaches, and tropical fruits. Rich and silky on the palate, the fruity notes are well-integrated with the structure and the wine finishes with refreshing acidity and persistent perlage.

Food Pairing

This versatile wine can be served as an aperitif and also pairs well with fish dishes, white meats, mild cheeses, and slightly spicy foods.

“Scents of spearmint and sweet basil lead into flavors of lime, kiwi and green apple skin. The texture is silky, and the light sweetness amplifies the considerable fruit flavors while lively acidity freshens the finish. Those herbal notes may not be typical for prosecco, but this is an interesting and delicious sparkler.”

“The NV Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry lifts up with a sweet display of citrus-laced peaches, apricot and crushed stone. It’s a nicely balanced effort that matches its ripe fruit persona to brilliant acidity, all carried by a delicate bead of fine bubbles. This turns noticeably savory through the finale, taking on hints of ginger and sour apple. This is a wonderfully satisfying glass of Prosecco.”

“This wine’s subtle sweetness boosts flavors of green apple, pear and kiwi that swirl in a fine, satiny texture. Tangy acidity enlivens those juicy fruit tones and brings the wine to a clean, refreshing finish."– (Best Buy)

“Spring blossom, apricot and tropical fruit aromas shape the nose. On the tangy palate, a soft mousse accompanies yellow peach and ripe pear before a lemon drop candy finish. Fresh acidity brightens the rich flavors.”
Wine Enthusiast
“Rich and deep flavors, a little fruity with good minerality.”
