- Taste profile
Fresh and delicate, as the producer describes it, on a soft rather than aggressive mousse. Green apple and pear fruit carry the Extra Dry sweetness, roughly 12 to 17 grams of sugar a litre, while Glera acidity keeps the 11 percent body light and clean.
Short and clean, closing on citrus and orchard fruit rather than length. The greatwinesdirect note calls it an irresistibly fruity finish, and the low 11 percent alcohol keeps it easy.
A gentle, fruit forward Extra Dry Prosecco for the aperitivo hour rather than the cellar. It holds a 3.7 average across 368 Vivino ratings, fair value near 13 pounds for a soft, citrus led everyday sparkler from a large Treviso bottler.
An everyday Prosecco DOC at about 13 pounds
Canal Grando is Bosco Viticultori's export Prosecco, sold in the UK for around 13 pounds a 75cl bottle. It is the regional Prosecco DOC in the Extra Dry style, built for the aperitivo table rather than the cellar, so buy the freshest stock you can and chill it well.
Gently fruity Extra Dry sweetness, low alcohol and easy citrus make it an approachable, low risk introduction to Prosecco.
Low 11 percent alcohol, an easy price and soft, sociable fruit make it a genuine everyday and party sparkler.
Around 13 pounds is fair, honest value for a soft, correctly made Prosecco DOC from a large Treviso bottler, if not a bargain.
Versatile with fried snacks, aperitivo bites, delicate fish and pizza, though its light 11 percent frame keeps it to lighter plates.

Why Canal Grando carries no vintage
This is a non-vintage Prosecco: Glera is blended across years and given its second fermentation in steel tanks, the standard Prosecco method, to bottle a consistent, fresh style. There is no vintage chart to read here, so freshness at purchase matters more than the year.

Non-vintage. Canal Grando is blended and tank fermented for immediate drinking, so there is no vintage to compare; buy the freshest stock and drink within a year or two of release.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that complement this wine
Built for aperitivo and Venetian cicchetti
The producer points Canal Grando at refined appetizers, delicate fish and fresh cheese, and its Treviso home makes Venetian cicchetti such as baccala mantecato a natural match. The soft mousse and citrus also handle fried snacks and the chilli on a Pizza Diavola.
Aperitivo and Venetian cicchetti
The low 11 percent alcohol, soft mousse and lemon, elderflower aromatics are built for the aperitivo hour. Canal Grando's Treviso home makes baccala mantecato, the whipped salt cod of Venetian bacari, a natural partner.

Fried snacks and gnocco fritto
Glera's fresh acidity and the scrub of the mousse cut through fried dough and cured meat. Gnocco fritto with prosciutto, panzerotti and fried pizza all reset the palate against Canal Grando's citrus.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · Pizza fritta · Panzerotti · More pairings →
Salty, cured and briny bites
Vivino tasters most often pair Canal Grando with cured meat and shellfish. Its citrus and gentle Extra Dry sugar counter salt and brine, so prosciutto, olives and a plate of mussels sit easily beside the soft fizz.

A foil for chilli heat on pizza
The Extra Dry sweetness, 12 to 17 grams of sugar a litre, gives Canal Grando an edge the drier Brut lacks against spice. That touch of fruit sugar tames the chilli on a Pizza Diavola while the bubbles refresh between bites.

Skip genuinely fiery, chilli heavy plates
Push past mild pizza heat into truly fiery, chilli laden dishes and the wine gives way. At 11 percent with only Extra Dry sweetness, Canal Grando is too light to stand up to aggressive capsaicin, which flattens its citrus and floral notes.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
None to speak of: non-vintage tank method Prosecco is built to drink fresh within a year or two, not to age.
£13.43 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Common Questions
It is made by Casa Vinicola Bosco Malera, trading as Bosco Viticultori, in Salgareda in the Treviso province of Veneto. The company has bottled sparkling wine since 1948 and has belonged to the Vi.V.O. Cantine cooperative group since 2012.
Extra Dry is the middle sweetness level for Prosecco, roughly 12 to 17 grams of residual sugar a litre. Despite the name it is a touch sweeter than Brut, so Canal Grando tastes gently fruity rather than bone dry, though the Glera acidity keeps it fresh.
Glera, the grape behind all Prosecco. Bosco Viticultori source it across Treviso and the province of Venice, and the wine takes its second fermentation in steel tanks, the standard Prosecco method.
Expect a brilliant straw yellow with a fine perlage, a nose of lemon and citrus with white flowers, and a fresh, delicate palate. Vivino reviewers most often note lemon zest, pear and green apple, with a faint mineral, chalky edge.
Serve it well chilled at 6 to 8 degrees as an aperitivo, or with Venetian cicchetti such as baccala mantecato, fried snacks, delicate fish and fresh cheeses. The soft mousse and citrus also cut the richness of fried pizza and panzerotti.
In the UK it sells for around 13 pounds a bottle. That places it as an everyday Prosecco DOC, below the hillside Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG bottlings, and made by the tank method rather than the pricier metodo classico.
