Prosecco DOC Extra Dry is the most widespread and loved version of Veneto sparkling wines, a symbol of conviviality, lightness and freshness. Produced mainly from Glera grapes, it represents an excellence that has conquered the world, becoming the most exported Italian sparkling wine.
The DOC (Denomination of Controlled Origin) designation guarantees quality and a strong connection to the territory, particularly in the provinces of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia where Prosecco finds its natural home.
Origins and History of Prosecco
Prosecco has ancient origins: as early as Roman times, wines made from similar grapes were produced in the Trieste area. Its true recognition, however, came in the 19th century, with the spread of the Glera grape and the development of the Charmat-Martinotti method for sparkling wine production.
In recent decades, Prosecco has become synonymous with the Italian aperitivo, conquering international markets thanks to its freshness and competitive quality-price ratio.
Organoleptic Characteristics
Prosecco DOC Extra Dry is characterized by a balanced and pleasant style.
- Color: pale straw yellow with greenish reflections.
- Aroma: fruity notes of green apple, pear and white peach, accompanied by floral hints.
- Taste: fresh, smooth and harmonious, with a fine and persistent perlage.
The sugar level (12–17 g/l) makes it softer than Brut, without being sweet, maintaining excellent drinkability.
Extra Dry, Brut or Dry: The Differences
There is often confusion between the different types of Prosecco:
- Brut: the driest version, ideal for those who prefer a sharper taste.
- Extra Dry: the most balanced and versatile, perfect for all occasions.
- Dry: slightly sweeter, especially suitable for desserts or softer aperitifs.
👉 Extra Dry is therefore the ideal choice for those seeking freshness without giving up a certain roundness.
Food Pairings
Prosecco DOC Extra Dry is extremely versatile at the table.
- Aperitif: the perfect pairing, with finger food, appetizers and light starters.
- Fish dishes: perfect with fried seafood, fish salads and shellfish.
- Vegetarian dishes: excellent with vegetable risottos, savory pies and fresh salads.
- International cuisine: surprisingly good with sushi, Thai dishes and fusion cuisine.
Its freshness and delicacy also make it suitable for everyday enjoyment.
