About the producer:
Castello del Poggio is a well-known estate based in Piedmont, part of the Zonin family’s historic winemaking group. While rooted in Piedmontese tradition, the winery also produces elegant sparkling wines from Veneto, showcasing Italy’s most celebrated style—Prosecco.
About the region:
Prosecco comes from northeastern Italy, primarily in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The region’s rolling hills, moderate climate, and mineral-rich soils create ideal conditions for producing vibrant, aromatic sparkling wines known for their freshness and finesse.
About the grape variety:
Prosecco is made from Glera, a native Italian grape prized for its delicate aromatics and lively acidity. Glera produces wines that are light, floral, and fruit-forward, making Prosecco one of the world’s most approachable sparkling wines.
Style and tasting note:
Castello del Poggio Prosecco Extra Dry displays aromas of pear, apple, and white peach, with hints of citrus and acacia flower. The palate is fresh and harmonious, with fine, persistent bubbles, crisp acidity, and a subtly sweet finish that enhances its smooth, elegant character.
Trivia:
Despite the name Extra Dry, this style of Prosecco is slightly softer and fruitier than Brut, containing a touch more residual sugar. It’s the traditional style Italians prefer to enjoy as an aperitif or alongside light dishes and celebrations."
