Fantinel – Prosecco D.O.C. Extra Dry 75cl

Bright bubbles, easy vibes, and a finish that keeps you reaching for the next sip. Fantinel’s Prosecco DOC Extra Dry is the kind of Italian Glera you open when you want something celebratory without turning it into a whole production.

If you’ve ever grabbed “any Prosecco” and hoped for the best, this is the upgrade move. Extra Dry in Prosecco-land means you get a touch of soft fruit sweetness, but it still drinks clean and refreshing, so it works as well with snacks as it does as a pre-dinner pour.

• Grape & style: Glera-based Prosecco from Italy, made in an Extra Dry style, meaning bright, fruit-led bubbles with a gentle hint of sweetness for easy sipping.
• What it tastes like: Think orchard fruit and citrus, the flavours you actually want in a glass when you’re craving something lively and upbeat.
• Why the bubbles matter: That sparkle lifts the fruit, keeps the palate fresh, and makes even a casual Tuesday feel like it’s got plans.

• Appearance: Pale straw with a lively, persistent mousse.
• Nose: Green apple and ripe pear up front, with a soft peachy note and a light citrus lift.
• Palate: Bright, fruit-forward flavours with refreshing acidity, and a touch of rounded sweetness that makes it crowd-pleasing.
• Body: Light-bodied and zippy, built for another pour.
• Finish: Clean and lightly fruity, with a crisp snap that keeps it from feeling heavy.

Food pairing: Pour it with prosciutto and melon, salty potato chips (seriously), or sushi and sashimi, the bubbles love clean, savoury flavours.

Want a no-brainer serve? Use it for a classic Aperol Spritz, or keep it simple in a wine glass with a twist of lemon peel for extra zip.

If your reference point is basic supermarket Prosecco, this is the step up that tastes more put-together without asking you to learn anything new. Same idea, better payoff.

Fun Fact: “Extra Dry” sounds like it should be the driest option, but in sparkling wine terms it actually means a slightly softer, fruitier style than Brut.
