Ripe orchard fruit and citrus over a creamy mousse: this Glera tells a simple, well-liked story, and here is how it reads in the glass.
Ripe apple and pear lead. Behind the orchard fruit sit white flowers and fresh peach. A clean, primary Glera nose, with no oak and only the faint yeasty trace a short tank fermentation leaves.

AlmondFine tank-method bubbles over a creamy texture, gently fizzy rather than aggressive. Lemon and lime freshness cuts through ripe melon and a bitter-almond twist. At 10.5% ABV it is light-bodied and dry-drinking, with the soft ripe-fruit roundness of Prosecco's extra-dry tier.
Short to medium, closing on lemon zest and that faintly bitter almond note. The gentle extra-dry roundness keeps the ending soft rather than austere.
A dependable, well-liked aperitivo Prosecco, prized for freshness and ease rather than complexity. Drink it young and well chilled; current stock is marked to enjoy by the end of 2028.
Alessandro Gallici is a Direct Wines label, so UK stock moves through Laithwaites and its club channels rather than supermarkets. The same bottling is sold to US wine clubs under the identical product code.
The scores weigh the 12.99 club price against Prosecco DOC's everyday tier: an aperitivo and beginner pour, not a cellar candidate. The tank method and drink-by-2028 window set that ceiling.
Extra-dry NV Prosecco from 100% Glera is the classic entry point to Italian fizz: soft, fruity, tannin-free and 10.5% ABV.
Light, dry-drinking and versatile at aperitivo hour, though the 12.99 club price nudges it above a true midweek default.
Bright Glera acidity and fine bubbles cover aperitivo, shellfish and fried food, the three food families this label is made for. Low alcohol limits it with heavier mains.
Sparkling format and a polished label story carry a casual celebration. For landmark occasions the DOC's entry tier cedes to Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG or metodo classico.
At 12.99 the club price sits a few pounds above supermarket-tier Prosecco DOC. Drinkers like it enough to support the step-up, without it being a bargain.
Tank-method NV built for freshness; current stock is marked to drink by end 2028, so there is nothing to gain from keeping it.

A compact view of what the Prosecco denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Prosecco DOC at this level is blended across recent harvests and re-fermented in tank for freshness. The current release is marked to drink by 31 December 2028.
A non-vintage tank-method blend: base wines from recent harvests are re-fermented for freshness rather than built to age. Laithwaites lists the current bottling to drink by 31 December 2028; serve well chilled.

Drink-now / hold guidance reflects general style cues for this wine, not a forecast for a specific bottle. Where vintage-level editorial notes exist, they appear above.
The DOC caps Glera yields at 18 tonnes per hectare. It confines fruit to nine provinces across the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, from Belluno to Trieste. This bottle declares that appellation on its label.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Prosecco is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Prosecco falls within Veneto, covering Nine provinces of Veneto and Friuli: Belluno, Gorizia, Padova, Pordenone, Treviso, Trieste, Udine, Venezia, Vicenza. The denomination is further divided into 2 sub-zones.

The label's own story has Gallici buying Glera from growers he knows across the Prosecco hills. Purchased fruit and a non-estate cellar keep farming capital out of this label's price.
Tank re-fermentation, in short cycles with no oak or long lees programme, is why a DOC fizz can retail at 12.99.
DOC rules cap yields at 18 tonnes per hectare and confine fruit to the delimited Veneto and Friuli zone. That is a modest premium over generic Italian spumante.
At 10.5% ABV a 750 ml bottle carries about 2.24 in alcohol duty at the current 28.50-per-litre-of-alcohol rate, plus 2.17 VAT inside the 12.99 price. That is roughly 4.40 of what you pay.
As a Direct Wines exclusive at 12.99, the label sits a few pounds above supermarket-tier Prosecco DOC. The persona story and club economics price it as a step-up pour.
Dishes that go with this wine
Shellfish, appetisers and cured meat are where this label belongs. The pairings below follow that line, matched through acidity, bubbles and the extra-dry tier's gentle roundness.
Tank-method bubbles and lemony Glera acidity scrub fried richness from the palate between bites. At 10.5% ABV the wine stays light enough not to compound the weight of the food.
Try with: Arancini · Gnocco fritto · Prawn Tempura · More pairings →
Shellfish is the first thing to put beside this glass. Lemon-lime freshness mirrors a squeeze of citrus over mussels and prawns, and the fine mousse lifts briny sweetness without smothering it.
Try with: Impepata di cozze · Oysters
Salty prosciutto and mortadella meet the wine's soft extra-dry fruit, each rinsing the other. This is the aperitivo pairing the Veneto itself defaults to with tank-method Glera.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · prosciutto · mortadella · More pairings →
The extra-dry tier's touch of residual sugar and low 10.5% alcohol sit comfortably against lightly seasoned Japanese plates. A bone-dry or high-alcohol wine would clash there.
Try with: Prawn Tempura · Nigiri Sushi · More pairings →
A featherweight fizz needs featherweight food: creamy mozzarella and ripe tomato echo the wine's soft texture and orchard fruit without outweighing its delicate frame.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · grilled summer vegetables · More pairings →
Hot chilli amplifies carbonation into prickle and strips the wine's gentle fruit, while big roasted or barbecued meats flatten a 10.5% featherweight. Keep it with lighter plates.
Skip with: vindaloo · mapo tofu · barbecue ribs · Pairing guide →

Confidence · MediumAlessandro Gallici is an exclusive label of Direct Wines, the Laithwaites family of wine clubs. It is sold in the UK and US under the same product code. The label story has Gallici as a Veneto winemaker who buys Glera from growers near Venice. He makes the wine by the tank method in his own cellar. The bottling estate is not disclosed on the label, so we name no producer winery for this wine.
It drinks dry. The UK listing files it as a dry white. It belongs to Prosecco's extra-dry tier, which carries a soft touch of ripe-fruit sweetness under a fresh finish. At 10.5% ABV it stays light on its feet.
Ripe apple, pear and lemon over a creamy, gently fizzy texture, with tree fruit and citrus the two flavour families that come through most. Melon, white flowers and a bitter-almond twist fill in behind.
Aperitivo plates and shellfish come first. Fine bubbles and lemony acidity scrub fried starters such as arancini and gnocco fritto, and lift mussels and prawns. The extra-dry roundness even sits well beside lightly seasoned Japanese dishes like prawn tempura.
No. It is a non-vintage Prosecco DOC blend, re-fermented in tank for freshness rather than built to age. Buy it young: the current bottling is sold to drink by 31 December 2028, ideally well chilled within a year or so of purchase.
