Discover the delightfully aromatic Astoria Galie Prosecco Di Treviso Extra Dry. With fine floral notes and a clean, crisp palate, this sparkling wine offers a touch of richness and a delicious, mouthwatering finish. Perfect for any occasion, enjoy the refined fruit flavours of this Extra Dry Prosecco.
It is designed for immediate enjoyment and will not benefit from extended cellaring. The primary fruit character and lively bubbles are at their peak upon release and should remain vibrant for 2-3 years when properly stored. Beyond this window, the wine may lose its characteristic freshness and the mousse will begin to diminish. Best consumed young to appreciate its intended style and character.
Tasting Notes
AppearancePale straw yellow with a persistent, fine mousse and steady stream of bubbles.
NoseFresh pear and green apple dominate, supported by white flowers and a subtle mineral backdrop. The extra dry style allows delicate honeyed sweetness to emerge without overwhelming the primary fruit. Light citrus peel adds brightness to the aromatic profile.
PalateClean entry with well-integrated bubbles that carry crisp apple and pear flavours across the palate. The slight residual sugar balances the natural acidity of Glera, creating an approachable, food-friendly style. Mid-palate weight remains light but satisfying, with a pleasant chalky texture.
FinishClean and refreshing with lingering orchard fruit and a gentle bitter almond note.
Overall impressionWell-made everyday Prosecco that delivers reliable quality and crowd-pleasing appeal.
Food Pairings
In the Veneto region, locals pair their Prosecco with cicchetti, the Venetian equivalent of tapas, featuring small plates of baccalà mantecato, sarde in saor, and prosciutto San Daniele. The extra dry style works particularly well with the region's rice-based dishes like risotto alle vongole, where the wine's gentle sweetness complements the briny shellfish. Traditional antipasti platters featuring local Asiago cheese, soppressa salami, and marinated vegetables are enhanced by Prosecco's cleansing bubbles and bright acidity.
We think this wine would go well with
Serve well-chilled at 6-8°C in flute or tulip glasses to concentrate the aromatics and maintain the mousse. No decanting required; open just before serving to preserve maximum effervescence. Store bottles horizontally in a cool, dark place and consume within 2-3 years of purchase for optimal freshness.
The Galie vineyard sits in the rolling hills of Treviso, where alternating layers of clay and limestone provide excellent drainage while retaining enough moisture for the vines. The continental climate brings warm summers tempered by cool Alpine breezes, creating ideal conditions for Glera to develop its characteristic fresh acidity. These well-ventilated slopes at 200-300 metres elevation help preserve the delicate aromatics that define quality Prosecco.
Prosecco di Treviso DOC encompasses the broader Treviso province, distinct from the more prestigious Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene DOCG zones. The regulations require 85% Glera, with fermentation by the Charmat method to preserve primary fruit character. While less restrictive than its DOCG neighbours, Treviso producers like Astoria demonstrate that excellent Prosecco can emerge from these flatter, more accessible vineyard sites when handled with care.
FAQs
What does 'Extra Dry' mean in Prosecco terms?
Despite the name, Extra Dry Prosecco actually contains 12-17 grams of residual sugar per litre, making it slightly sweeter than Brut style (under 12g/L). This level provides a touch of roundness that makes the wine more approachable and food-friendly than bone-dry styles.
How long can I keep this Prosecco?
Prosecco is best consumed within 2-3 years of purchase while the fruit remains fresh and the bubbles retain their liveliness. Unlike Champagne, it's not designed for long-term ageing and won't develop additional complexity over time.
What's the difference between Prosecco di Treviso and Prosecco DOCG?
Prosecco di Treviso DOC covers a broader area with less restrictive regulations than the premium Conegliano e Valdobbiadene DOCG zones. While DOCG represents the pinnacle, quality DOC producers like Astoria can still create excellent wines from well-managed vineyards.
Should I serve this in flutes or wider glasses?
Flutes or tulip-shaped glasses are ideal as they concentrate the aromatics and help maintain the mousse. Avoid wide-bowled glasses which will cause the wine to lose its effervescence more quickly.
Can I use this for cocktails like Bellini or Aperol Spritz?
Absolutely. The Extra Dry style works particularly well in cocktails where a touch of sweetness is desirable. The quality of the base wine ensures your cocktails will have proper structure and flavour balance.
What food should I avoid pairing with this wine?
Very tannic red meats and heavily spiced dishes can overwhelm Prosecco's delicate character. Rich, creamy sauces may also clash with the wine's fresh acidity, though lighter cream-based dishes can work well.
