2022 Furlan Prosecco DOCG Superiore Millesimato Extra Dry, Valdobbiadene

Furlan Prosecco DOCG Superiore Millesimato Extra Dry from Valdobbiadene is a sparkling wine that embodies the essence of the Veneto region with its exceptional quality and elegance. Hailing from the prestigious Prosecco DOCG area of Valdobbiadene, this wine is crafted with care and attention to detail by the Furlan family, who have been producing wines that reflect the best of their heritage for generations.

The grapes for this Millesimato Prosecco are handpicked from the finest vineyards in the Valdobbiadene hills, where the unique combination of soil, altitude, and climate creates an ideal environment for Prosecco production. The "Millesimato" designation indicates that the wine is made from a single vintage, showcasing the best characteristics of the year. The winemaking process includes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and fruit-forward character, followed by a secondary fermentation to create the signature bubbles.

In the glass, this Prosecco displays a delicate straw-yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage. The nose is fresh and inviting, with aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus, along with subtle floral notes of acacia and a hint of almond. On the palate, it’s elegant and balanced, with the fresh fruit flavors carrying through, complemented by a touch of honey and a slight nuttiness from the extended fermentation. The Extra Dry style offers a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, creating a harmonious, smooth mouthfeel that makes each sip incredibly refreshing. The finish is clean and crisp, with lingering fruit and a mineral edge.

Furlan Prosecco is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. It’s perfect as an aperitif, but also pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes, including seafood, light pasta dishes, and fresh cheeses. It’s also a great companion to light appetizers such as bruschetta or charcuterie, making it an ideal choice for celebrations or casual gatherings.
