Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, medium acidity, off-dry
Freixenet's Prosecco DOC Extra Dry is made from Glera in the Veneto, produced for the Spanish Cava house by a Veneto bottler. Its second fermentation takes place in pressurised stainless-steel tanks, the Charmat method, which keeps the fruit primary and fresh. It is light and frothy, with green apple, lemon and grapefruit, a gentle touch of sweetness and a soft, clean finish. Like most Prosecco, it is made to drink young.
