Le Contesse Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG Extra-Dry is a high quality Italian sparkling wine that comes from the Valdobbiadene region, in the Prosecco DOCG production area, located in northwestern Italy, specifically in the Veneto region. This wine is produced under the Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG), the highest classification category for Italian wines, which guarantees its authenticity and quality.
Le Contesse's Prosecco DOCG Extra-Dry is known for its "extra-dry" style, which means it has a moderate level of sweetness, making it versatile and suitable for a variety of occasions. This wine is produced mainly from the Glera grape, which is the main grape variety used in the production of Prosecco, known for its freshness and floral notes.
In appearance, Le Contesse Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG Extra-Dry presents a bright straw yellow color, with a fine and persistent effervescence that creates an attractive crown of bubbles in the glass.
On the nose, this sparkling wine displays fresh and fruity aromas, with notes of pear, green apple, peach and citrus, along with subtle floral and herbal notes that add complexity and elegance.
On the palate, Le Contesse's Prosecco DOCG Extra-Dry is balanced and refreshing, with well-integrated acidity providing liveliness and a pleasant effervescent character. Fruity flavors of apple and pear come through, with hints of citrus and a slight sweetness that balances the acidity, giving it a long, fresh finish.
Le Contesse Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG Extra-Dry is a versatile wine and can be enjoyed as an aperitif, with seafood, fish, light dishes and desserts that are not too sweet. It is also an excellent choice for toasting at celebrations and special occasions.
