Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry

We received three bottles of prosecco from Mionetto. We shared the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry with friends that enjoy prosecco. The wines we received were from the Mionetto Luxury Selection. The bottles were beautiful with an elegant black color and the word Mionetto embossed on the glass. The two other proseccos that we wrote about were the Cuvée Anniversario 1887 – 2017 and the Cartizze DOCG. Although I enjoyed all three, the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry was my favorite.

I like my sparkling wines to have tiny bubbles and showcase in a flute with multiple columns of bubbles forming a mousse on the surface of the wine. The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry had the smallest of the bubbles of the three proseccos, and also formed multiple columns of bubbles and central and circumferential mousses. The sparkling wine had a yellow color. The aroma offered apple, pear and citrus. While the taste included green apple, pear and lemon. The velvety mouthfeel was also lively. The residual sugar was between 178 and 19 g/L. This slight sweetness enhanced the Glera grape.

Antipasto and Prosecco

Our host prepared antipasto and the sparkling wine paired well. The antipasto included different cured meats, olives, peppers, artichokes, a dip and different types of crackers. This prosecco was delicious and refreshing and enhanced the antipasto. 

Luxury and elegance should not have to cost a fortune. The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry retails for less than $20.
