Crafted by the historic Zonin family, whose winemaking legacy in the Veneto region dates back to 1821, this Extra Dry Prosecco is a vibrant celebration of northeastern Italy's sparkling heritage. Made primarily from the native Glera grape, it is produced using the traditional Martinotti-Charmat method, which coaxes out the grape's natural aromatics of white peach, almond blossom, and green apple. The 'Extra Dry' designation denotes a classic, slightly off-dry style that balances refreshing acidity with a soft, rounded mouthfeel. This style pays homage to the mid-20th-century Italian tradition when Prosecco first captured the hearts of Venice's cafe society, evolving from a local everyday luxury into a global symbol of the Italian 'Dolce Vita'.
