Tasting Notes

What Bortolin Angelo's Valdobbiadene Extra Dry tastes like

Glera picked by hand on the steep hills of Valdobbiadene, with 12 grams of sugar a litre: enough to round the edges, not enough to taste sweet. Falstaff scored the 2025 at 93 points and the 2024 at 92.

Nose

Apple, pear and peach lead, the three fruits the family's own sheet names, with a touch of honey and chamomile flower behind them. It smells clean and fine rather than loud. The grapes are Glera, picked by hand on the steep hills of Valdobbiadene.

Apple blossomApple blossom

ChamomileChamomile
HoneyHoney
Palate

Just off-dry: about 12 grams of sugar a litre, the bottom of the Extra Dry band, so it tastes rounded rather than sweet. Fresh acidity keeps it light, and lemon and grapefruit follow the orchard fruit. The fizz is fine and creamy, almost velvety, after 30 to 40 days resting on its yeast in a sealed tank.

Finish

The fruit comes back at the end. The finish lingers, lively and clean rather than sugary.

Overall

Falstaff scored this wine's 2025 at 93 points. Drinkers pick out pear and apple first, then citrus and a little honey. It is the softer of the family's two everyday Valdobbiadene DOCGs, with twice the sugar of its Brut: 12 grams a litre against 6. Open it young: the producer's own documents say within 15 to 24 months of bottling.

Wine fit score

Where Bortolin Angelo's Extra Dry fits: beginners, everyday, food

Strongest for beginners and everyday drinking: soft, fruity and about £13 on this page. The food score is high too, thanks to the touch of sugar and the fizz.

Best intro to this style 9.0/10

Soft, fruity and just off-dry, with the apple and pear taste most people expect from Prosecco: the style the producer calls the most known and drunk.

Best everyday bottle 8.5/10

About £13 on this page and an aperitif style: a weeknight and party bottle rather than a special-occasion one.

Best with food 8.2/10

Off-dry, light and fizzy with fresh acidity: it suits starters, fish, fried food and gentle spice, but not red-meat mains.

Best value 8.0/10

The one shop on this page asks about £13 for a DOCG Prosecco from the Valdobbiadene hills that Falstaff scored 93; many of its neighbours cost more.

Best for an occasion 4.5/10

A DOCG from the Valdobbiadene hills with a 93 from Falstaff, but an everyday Extra Dry, not the family's Cartizze or its Rive di Guia wines.

Best for cellar 1.5/10

Made to drink young: the producer's own documents give it 15 to 24 months from bottling, and the 2025 is best by 2027.

Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

The disciplinare, the place, the label

Valdobbiadene DOCG: the hill zone of Prosecco, 15 towns in Treviso

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG covers the hills of 15 towns in the province of Treviso. Among its sparkling wines the Bortolin family makes nothing but Valdobbiadene DOCG. Extra Dry is a legal band, 12 to 17 grams of sugar a litre, and this wine sits at the bottom of it.

01

DOC, DOCG, IGT: what the badges mean

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.

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

02

The denomination rules, in detail

  • Allowed grapes. 5 varieties listed in the disciplinare
  • Yield ceiling. 13.5 tonnes per hectare
  • Minimum ABV. 11.0% vol
  • Minimum ageing. No statutory minimum - producers release on their own schedule

Main factor
Glera picked by hand in September on the steep hills of Valdobbiadene
  1. 01

    Glera picked by hand in September on the steep hills of Valdobbiadene

    Cost up

    The family picks every bunch by hand: its sheet says 'exclusively hand-picked', and it calls its vineyards vertical. Hand labour on slopes costs more than machine picking on flat land.

  2. 02

    A full crop, at the top of what the DOCG rules allow

    Cost down

    The sheet declares a yield of 135 quintals a hectare, the ceiling the rules set for this DOCG. Each vine carries a normal crop rather than a cut one, so the cost per bottle stays down.

  3. 03

    Second fermentation in a sealed tank, 30 to 40 days on its yeast

    Cost down

    The fizz is made in a sealed tank and the wine rests on its yeast for 30 to 40 days, a far shorter and cheaper route than months of ageing in bottle.

  4. 04

    The family's own patented bottle, with a QR code for every lot

    Cost up

    Every bottle is the family's own patented shape, flat in the centre, with a back-label QR code that traces the lot. A custom mould and a traced lot cost more than a stock bottle.

  5. 05

    UK duty and VAT inside the price

    Cost up

    Of the £12.66 the one shop on this page asks, about £4.75 is tax. Duty is £2.64 at 11.5% alcohol (0.75 x 0.115 x £30.62 per litre of pure alcohol, the rate since 1 February 2026) and VAT is £2.11.

  6. 06

    An estate of 300,000 to 500,000 bottles a year

    Cost down

    The estate makes between 300,000 and 500,000 bottles a year. Extra Dry is the most drunk style of Valdobbiadene DOCG by the producer's own account, so fixed costs spread across a long run.

Perfect Pairings

Dishes that go with this wine

Kimchi fried rice, plated

Food Pairing

Dishes for an off-dry Prosecco: fish, fried starters and gentle spice

The family's own sheet steers this Extra Dry to fine-flavoured fish and shellfish. Its 12 grams of sugar also meet sweet-and-sour sauces and salty smoked fish, and the fine fizz lifts anything fried.

Sweet balance Strong match

Sweet-and-sour and lightly spiced Chinese dishes

The 12 grams of sugar in this Valdobbiadene Extra Dry meet the sugar in a sweet-and-sour sauce, so neither tastes sour next to the other. The bubbles and fresh acidity then lift the fried coating. A bone-dry Brut would taste thin here; this soft, off-dry Prosecco does not.

Try with: Sweet and sour prawns · Char siu bao · Spring rolls · Salt and pepper prawns · More pairings →

Salt balance Strong match

Italian fish and shellfish starters

The family's own sheet points this wine at fine-flavoured fish and shellfish. Its touch of sugar softens the salt in creamed cod and mussels, and its light body never covers the fish. Think of it as the Veneto's own aperitif white, Glera, soft and fruity, with fizz.

Try with: Baccala Mantecato · Polenta e schie · Fregula ai frutti di mare · Impepata di cozze · More pairings →

Body matching Good match

Raw and lightly cooked Japanese fish

Light food wants a light wine. This off-dry Glera is light in body with gentle fizz, so sashimi and sushi keep their delicate taste. The apple and pear fruit also sits well with the sweetness in sushi rice.

Try with: Prawn Tempura · Nigiri Sushi · Sashimi · Gyoza · More pairings →

Fat cutting Good match

Fish and chips, potted shrimp and smoked salmon

Bubbles and fresh acidity scrub batter and butter off the tongue between bites. That is what a Valdobbiadene Prosecco does to fried fish that a still white does less well. The touch of sugar also balances the salt of smoked salmon and oysters.

Try with: Fish and Chips · Potted Shrimp · Oysters · Scottish Smoked Salmon · More pairings →

Aromatic bridge Good match

Italian starters: fried dough, cold veal and soft cheese

Apple and pear aromas sit well with the milkiness of mozzarella and the creamy tuna sauce on cold veal. The fizz keeps fried dough and a cheese board from feeling heavy. This is the opener's role an Extra Dry Prosecco plays at an Italian table.

Try with: Cheese board · Gnocco fritto · Vitello Tonnato · Insalata Caprese · More pairings →

Avoid Clash

Hot curries and sweet puddings

Chilli heat strips the apple and pear fruit and makes the fizz feel sharp. A mild kick, like kimchi, is fine; a madras is not. A pudding sweeter than the wine turns a 12-gram Extra Dry sour, so for dessert pick a sweeter Italian fizz such as Asti or Moscato d'Asti.

Skip with: Chicken madras · Szechuan chicken · Chicken jalfrezi · Treacle Tart · Chocolate cake · Pairing guide →

Not a cellar wine: drink Bortolin Angelo's Extra Dry young

The producer's documents put its life at 15 to 24 months from bottling, depending on which you read. The family serves it at 7 to 9°C in a large glass. Store it upright, away from heat, and not for long in the fridge.

Common Questions

Just off-dry. It carries about 12 grams of sugar a litre, the bottom of the Extra Dry band, which runs from 12 to 17 grams. You taste it as roundness, not sweetness, because the acidity is fresh. The family's Brut has 6 grams and tastes drier.

Apple, pear and peach, with a touch of honey and lemon, on fine creamy bubbles. It is light in body, pale straw yellow and has 11.5% alcohol. Falstaff scored the 2025 at 93 points and found "yellow apple, camomile blossom and honey on the nose".

The one shop on this page asks about £13 for the 2025, so there is no price to compare here. The family also bottles the Extra Dry in magnums and bigger sizes.

Not long: drink it young. The producer's own documents put its life at 15 to 24 months from bottling, depending on which you read. The QR code on the back label gives the bottling date of your lot. Store it upright, away from heat, and not for long in the fridge.

Fish and shellfish first, which is the producer's own advice, then fried starters, sushi and sweet-and-sour Chinese dishes. Its 12 grams of sugar meet salt and mild sweetness well. Keep it away from hot curries and from puddings sweeter than the wine.

The Bortolin family at Guia di Valdobbiadene, in the Treviso hills. The winery took Angelo Bortolin's name in 1968, his three children joined in 1993 and his son Desiderio has led it since 2010. Among its sparkling wines it makes nothing but Valdobbiadene DOCG, between 300,000 and 500,000 bottles a year, picked by hand.
