Single vintage Prosecco from the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene. An almost innocent pleasure with aromas of white flowers, peardop candy, red grapefruit peel and only 11% alcohol

Featured in Decanter, as part of “Best Prosecco under £20: Top picks”

“A lifted, lemony floral nose with a silky, creamy mouthfeel showing some delicate hints of green fruit, white flowers and pithy citrus; even some almond. There’s a persevering sweetness balanced by fresh acidity running through the core.” – James Button, Decanter

This Millesimato Extra Dry Prosecco has won multiple gold, silver and bronze medals around the world – and it’s easy to see why. It’s made from the Glera grapes grown in the hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. This area is influenced by cold breezes from the Dolomite Alps, and produces grapes with zingy acidity. As a result, Conegliano Valdobbiadene is known to offer Prosecco Superiore of much higher quality than the vast lowlands of Veneto.

Tasting notes

We picked this Extra Dry wine by Ca’ Di Rajo not only because it boasted pretty impressive accolades, but in the first place because it was a simply delicious fizz. It offers aromas of white flowers like acacia and jasmine, yellow apple, and red grapefruit peel, with a touch of sweet peardrop candy. On the palate it is dry, with a lightweight body and a low level alcohol of only 11%.

Food pairing ideas:  An ideal wine to celebrate a special occasion, this works best as a welcoming aperitif served with stir-fried vegetables, fries or cheeses. Try it with cold pasta, or with fish dishes such as oysters or scampi. Serve well-chilled (6-8 ° C)
