Astoria's Villa Miazzi Millesimato Extra Dry represents classic Prosecco di Treviso at its most refined. This vintage-dated expression from the heart of the Prosecco zone delivers the characteristic freshness and vivacity that makes this style so versatile, with just enough residual sweetness to balance the crisp acidity.
The Extra Dry designation provides an appealing off-dry character that works beautifully as an aperitif or with lighter fare. Drink now until 2027 to capture the wine's primary fruit and sparkling vitality.
As a fresh, fruit-driven sparkling wine, this Prosecco is best enjoyed within 12-18 months of purchase to capture its primary appeal. The bright apple and pear flavours will remain prominent for the first year, with the bubbles staying lively and persistent. Beyond 2027, the fruit will begin to fade and the mousse will lose some integration, though the wine will remain perfectly drinkable. This style doesn't develop meaningful secondary complexity with age – its charm lies in immediate freshness and vivacity.
Tasting Notes
AppearancePale straw yellow with a persistent mousse and fine, elegant bubbles rising steadily to form a delicate crown.
NoseFresh green apple and Conference pear dominate, supported by white flowers and a touch of citrus zest. There's a clean mineral backdrop with subtle bread crust character from the lees contact. The aromatics are bright and inviting without being overly perfumed.
PalateCrisp entry with well-integrated bubbles that enhance rather than mask the fruit flavours. Green apple and pear continue from the nose, joined by lime zest and a hint of white peach. The Extra Dry sweetness level provides balance without cloying, while good acidity keeps everything fresh and lively.
FinishClean and refreshing with lingering citrus and a pleasant mineral edge that invites the next sip.
Overall impressionA well-crafted Prosecco that delivers classic regional character with good balance and refreshing drinkability.
Food Pairings
In the Veneto, Prosecco traditionally accompanies cicchetti, the small plates served in Venetian bacari bars. Think baccalà mantecato on toasted polenta, sarde in saor, and tramezzini filled with prosciutto San Daniele. The wine pairs beautifully with risotto alle vongole from the Adriatic coast, or lighter preparations of local Adriatic fish like branzino al sale. During autumn, locals enjoy it with San Tamo cheese from the nearby hills and fresh fichi alongside paper-thin slices of prosciutto di Montagnana.
We think this wine would go well with
Serve well-chilled at 6-8°C in flute glasses to preserve the mousse and concentrate the aromatics. No decanting required – open and pour immediately to maintain the bubbles' liveliness. Tulip-shaped glasses work well if you prefer a style that allows the aromatics to develop slightly.
The vineyards lie in the Prosecco di Treviso zone, where alluvial soils and a temperate climate create ideal conditions for Glera cultivation. The proximity to the Adriatic moderates temperatures while the Alpine influence provides crucial diurnal variation. These conditions help preserve the bright acidity and delicate aromatics that define quality Prosecco, allowing the grapes to ripen gradually while retaining their characteristic freshness.
Prosecco di Treviso DOC encompasses the broader Prosecco production area around the historic city of Treviso. While not as prestigious as the DOCG zones of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, Treviso offers excellent value and consistent quality. The regulations require minimum 85% Glera, with the Charmat method for secondary fermentation preserving the grape's fresh, fruity character. The zone produces wines with good structure while maintaining the accessibility that has made Prosecco globally popular.
FAQs
What does 'Millesimato' mean on this Prosecco?
Millesimato indicates this is a vintage-dated Prosecco, made entirely from grapes harvested in a single year. This contrasts with non-vintage Prosecco, which blends multiple years. Vintage dating suggests the producer believes the harvest was of sufficient quality to stand alone.
How sweet is Extra Dry Prosecco?
Extra Dry contains 12-17 grams per litre of residual sugar, making it off-dry rather than bone dry. This level provides a touch of roundness that balances Prosecco's naturally high acidity, creating an appealing, food-friendly style that's neither sweet nor austere.
How does Prosecco di Treviso compare to Prosecco DOCG?
Prosecco di Treviso DOC covers the broader production zone around Treviso, while the DOCG zones (Conegliano Valdobbiadene and Asolo) represent the premium hillside areas. DOC wines like this offer excellent value and consistent quality, though they typically lack the mineral complexity of the best DOCG expressions.
How long will this keep once opened?
Prosecco maintains its best quality for 1-3 days after opening when properly sealed with a sparkling wine stopper and refrigerated. The bubbles will gradually diminish, but the wine remains pleasant to drink. For best results, consume within 24 hours of opening.
Can this Prosecco be used for cocktails?
Absolutely. The Extra Dry style works particularly well in cocktails where you want some fruit character but not aggressive dryness. It's excellent in a Bellini, Aperol Spritz, or French 75, where the slight sweetness enhances rather than competes with the other ingredients.
What's the best way to store this wine?
Store horizontally in a cool, dark place at 10-15°C away from vibration. Unlike still wines, Prosecco doesn't improve with extended cellaring – drink within 2 years of purchase to enjoy its fresh, primary character at its peak.
