Freixenet
Freixenet's frosted cut-glass Prosecco DOC: Extra Dry, 100% Glera from Veneto at 11% and 17 g/l. Ripe lemon, green apple and grapefruit over a fine Charmat mousse. Among Vivino's most-rated Proseccos, around 11 pounds, built for the aperitivo hour.
At 17 g/l dosage this sits at the top of the Extra Dry band: ripe lemon and green apple over a fine Charmat-Martinotti mousse, with Falstaff's 2019 panel scoring it 90 points and noting a hint of lime zest.
Fresh citrus and green apple lead the nose, with pear and white orchard fruit behind them. Freixenet's own notes flag a floral lift, and Falstaff's 2019 panel found fine herbal nuances and a hint of lime zest over an attractive bouquet.

PearThe Charmat-Martinotti mousse carries ripe lemon, crunchy green apple and a twist of grapefruit. At 17 g/l dosage it sits at the top of the Extra Dry band, so a gentle sweetness rounds the crisp acidity rather than dominating it.
The finish stays light and fresh, Falstaff's panel noting papaya and meadow herbs; the 11% frame keeps it easy and immediate.
One of the most-rated Proseccos on Vivino at 3.7 stars from nearly 11,000 drinkers, with 90 points from Falstaff and 88 from Decanter, all in the signature frosted cut-glass bottle. An Extra Dry built for the aperitivo hour, not the cellar.
Around 11 pounds and stocked widely, this is the recognisable frosted cut-glass Freixenet bottle: 100% Glera Prosecco DOC from Veneto, sealed under cork. Best bought for near-term drinking rather than keeping.
Strongest as an approachable everyday aperitivo: gentle 17 g/l sweetness and 11% alcohol make it beginner-friendly, while the Charmat mousse and non-vintage blend mean there is no cellaring upside.
Off-dry 17 g/l sweetness, gentle mousse and no tannin make it one of the easiest sparkling starting points.
An 11 pound aperitivo staple that suits a casual chilled pour more than a special-occasion splurge.
Vivino top 9% of all wines with 90 Falstaff and 88 Decanter points at around 11 pounds is strong for the tier.
The frosted cut-glass bottle and toast-ready fizz still make it a natural for celebrations.

Freixenet Prosecco is a non-vintage blend, assembled to a consistent Charmat-Martinotti house style each release rather than from one harvest. Drink it young and well chilled while the Glera fruit is at its freshest.

Prosecco DOC covers Glera-based sparkling wine across Veneto and Friuli, the volume tier below the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG hills. Freixenet draws its Glera from within this Veneto DOC zone.
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 Belluno · Gorizia · Padua · Pordenone · Treviso · Trieste · Udine · Venice · Vicenza. The denomination is further divided into 2 sub-zones.
Under the 2025 UK strength-based duty, an 11% 750ml bottle carries roughly 2.44 pounds of excise before any retailer margin.
VAT adds a fifth of the shelf price, about 1.83 pounds on the 10.99 pound bottle, on top of the duty.
Second fermentation in a pressurised autoclave (the Charmat-Martinotti method) rather than in bottle keeps production far cheaper than the traditional method behind Champagne or Franciacorta.
Sourcing Glera from the broad Veneto and Friuli DOC plain rather than the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG hills keeps fruit costs low.
The recognisable frosted cut-glass packaging and Henkell Freixenet marketing sit in the price on top of the wine itself.
Freixenet's own notes point to light bites such as bruschetta and seafood tartare; the Extra Dry sweetness and lively mousse are built for the aperitivo hour. Fried Venetian cicchetti and salty salumi are its natural home ground.
The Charmat-Martinotti bubbles and citrus acidity strip the oil from fried Venetian street food, resetting the palate between bites.

The Extra Dry sweetness at 17 g/l softens the salt of cured meats and whipped salt cod without tipping the wine into dessert territory.

Against genuinely fiery chilli, the 11% alcohol and lively CO2 amplify the burn while 17 g/l of sugar is too little to tame it, leaving the delicate Glera fruit scorched.

Confidence · MediumIt is Extra Dry, which on the Prosecco scale is gently off-dry. At 17 g/l of residual sugar it sits at the top of the Extra Dry band, so a soft sweetness rounds the citrus and green-apple acidity without tasting like a dessert wine.
It is 100% Glera, the native grape of Prosecco, grown within the Prosecco DOC zone in Veneto. Freixenet makes it by the Charmat-Martinotti method, a tank second fermentation that keeps Glera's fresh pear and citrus fruit intact.
It rates 3.7 out of 5 across nearly 11,000 Vivino reviews and has scored 90 points from Falstaff and 88 from Decanter, with Gold at Mundus Vini. For an entry-price DOC Prosecco that is a strong, consistent showing rather than a benchmark fine wine.
Treat it as an aperitivo. Freixenet suggests bruschetta and light seafood tartare, and the crisp mousse works with fried Venetian cicchetti, arancini and salty salumi. The 17 g/l sweetness also copes with lightly spiced bites.
No. It is a non-vintage Charmat Prosecco built for immediate drinking. Open it within a year or two of purchase and serve it well chilled at 6 to 8 degrees, as Freixenet recommends, to keep the fruit fresh.
The frosted cut-glass bottle is Freixenet's signature packaging, carried over from its Spanish Cava range. It is a brand marker rather than a quality indicator, and it adds to the shelf price alongside UK duty and VAT.
