Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry Dolceriva

What kind of wine it is

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry Dolceriva is a sparkling wine made exclusively from Glera grapes. Produced by Dolceriva, it stands out for its fresh and fragrant profile, achieved through a secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks using the long Charmat method. The absence of malolactic fermentation and the choice not to age the wine preserve its aromatic clarity, offering remarkable balance and a distinct structure for this style of sparkling wine.

Where it comes from

The grapes are sourced from the prestigious area of Guia di Valdobbiadene, at the very heart of the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore denomination. The vineyards are located at an altitude between 300 and 400 meters above sea level, which enables a gradual ripening process that helps develop the wine's aromatic bouquet. The clay soil of the hills plays a key role in supporting the flavor profile and providing the pleasant sapid sensation on the finish.

How it is produced

The winemaking process begins with a strictly manual harvest, followed by a very gentle pressing to extract only the finest parts of the must. The sparkling process develops via the long Charmat method, with the wine remaining in pressurized tanks for 70 to 90 days. Before release, the wine rests for 45 days of maturation, a key period to stabilize the aromatic profile and preserve the original freshness of the fruit.

Tasting notes

On the nose, it delivers intense acacia flower aromas, interwoven with clear fruity nuances of apple, lemon, and grapefruit. The palate is smooth and balanced, characterized by a clearly defined prominent fruit component. A pleasant savory note supports the tasting experience and leads the senses toward a harmonious, seamless, and remarkably fresh finish.

Food pairings

Its innate elegance and soft palate make it a perfect aperitif, able to stimulate the taste buds and prepare them for the meal. It pairs perfectly with crunchy dishes such as battered vegetables and fried foods, as its lively bubbles contrast beautifully with fried flavors. It's also excellent with cheese selections, where the balance between freshness and savoriness enhances the food's flavors.

When to serve

Ideal for informal social occasions, this sparkler is a reliable choice for sharing a refreshing, immediate glass. Serve well chilled to bring out the floral notes and citrus accents that define it. The precise production choices, aimed at preserving primary aromas, suggest drinking it while young, when its vibrant freshness can be fully enjoyed.
