2024 Allegrini Corte Giara Prosecco DOC, Veneto

Allegrini Corte Giara Prosecco DOC from Veneto is a bright, joyful and beautifully made expression of Glera that balances freshness with real pedigree. Corte Giara is Allegrini’s way of showcasing everyday Italian pleasure without sacrificing quality, drawing on the family’s deep roots in the Veneto and their generations of vineyard knowledge. The vineyards sit on gently rolling hills where limestone and clay soils combine with cooling breezes from the Alps to preserve acidity and aromatic purity. Fruit is harvested early to capture vibrancy, then fermented slowly in stainless steel using the Charmat method to retain freshness, clarity and that irresistible Prosecco charm.

The aroma is lively and inviting. Crisp green apple and pear lead the way, followed by white peach, melon and a hint of citrus blossom. There is a gentle herbal lift and a soft almond nuance underneath, giving the wine a little more character than many simple Proseccos. Everything feels clean, bright and immediately appealing.

The palate is light, energetic and beautifully refreshing. A fine, playful mousse carries flavours of crunchy apple, pear drop and lemon zest across a dry, well balanced frame. The acidity is crisp without being sharp, keeping the wine lively and thirst quenching, while a faint mineral note adds polish through the finish. It is uncomplicated in the best possible way, designed to be poured generously and enjoyed often.

Perfect as an aperitif, with antipasti, olives, fried calamari, prosciutto and melon, brunch dishes or casual celebrations. It is a reliable, crowd pleasing Prosecco that delivers excellent quality and unmistakable Italian flair at a very friendly price.
