La Gioiosa
Organic Prosecco DOC from La Gioiosa in Treviso, all Glera, tank-method. Labelled Brut but soft at 14 g/l, it pours pale with golden apple, acacia and wildflower honey over a gentle 11% fizz. An easy, well-priced aperitivo bubble.
Drinker consensus on Vivino and La Gioiosa's own sheet line up: ripe golden apple and pear, acacia and small mountain flowers, a citrus lift, and a soft, fruity close. At 5.8 g/l acidity and 14 g/l sugar it reads softer than its Brut label suggests.
Pale straw in the glass with a fine, persistent bead. The aromatics are classic soft-Glera: ripe golden apple and pear, acacia and small mountain flowers, with the wildflower-honey note La Gioiosa lists on its own sheet. Vivino drinkers most often log apple and a lemon-lime lift.

HoneySoft and gently fizzy rather than racy. It is labelled Brut but carries 14 g/l of sugar against 5.8 g/l acidity, which is why drinkers consistently call it soft and easy rather than bone-dry. Soft pressing in a pneumatic press and a temperature-controlled tank fermentation keep the fruit clean and the body light at 11%.
The close is short and fruity, with golden apple carrying over and a faint honeyed roundness from the dosage.
An organic, crowd-friendly aperitivo Prosecco that Vivino rates 3.8 across 874 ratings: not complex, but clean, soft and reliable for the price. Pour it cold as a party or pre-dinner bubble rather than something to think hard about.
Scored as an everyday, beginner-friendly aperitivo Prosecco: strong on easy drinking and value near £15, low on cellaring by design.
Light, low 11% and inexpensive enough for a midweek aperitivo or a casual celebration.
Soft, low-alcohol and gently fruity, with no tannin or oak to negotiate; one of the easiest Italian sparklers for a newcomer.
Bright Glera acidity and fine bubbles make it a natural with fried seafood, shellfish and aperitivo plates, though it fades against rich mains.
Bubbles always lift an occasion, but as an entry-level Prosecco it suits casual toasts more than landmark celebrations.

La Gioiosa blends across years to hold a consistent house style, so the label shows N.V. rather than a single harvest. Grapes are picked in the second ten days of September; the wine is released young and does not reward cellaring.
Non-vintage: La Gioiosa blends across years for a steady house style, so there is no single harvest to chart. Drink it young and cold, within a year or two of release, while the golden-apple fruit and gentle perlage are at their freshest.
Non-vintage: La Gioiosa blends across years for a steady house style, so there is no single harvest to chart. Drink it young and cold, within a year or two of release, while the golden-apple fruit and gentle perlage are at their freshest.
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.
La Gioiosa is a Moretti Polegato family brand based at Crocetta del Montello in Treviso, drawing Glera from across the broad Prosecco DOC area on medium, alluvial soils. The DOC caps yields at 18 tonnes per hectare.
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.
La Gioiosa's own sheet calls it an aperitif for shellfish and fried fish, and the fine perlage plus 5.8 g/l acidity back that up. It is a fritto and cicchetti wine more than a main-course bottle.
Fine perlage and 5.8 g/l of acidity scrub frying oil off the palate, and the soft 14 g/l of sugar stops the wine tasting harsh next to salt. This is the classic role for a tank-method Prosecco.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · Pizza fritta · Prawn tempura · Salt and pepper squid · More pairings →
Glera's bright, low-alcohol acidity matches the saline sweetness of mussels and small shrimp without flattening them. These are the Treviso lagoon plates the style grew up beside.
Try with: Polenta e schie · Impepata di cozze · Cozze arraganate · Baccalà mantecato · More pairings →
The soft 14 g/l dosage cushions cured, salty bites while the bubbles refresh between them, which is why Prosecco anchors the Italian aperitivo hour.
Try with: Baccalà mantecato · Gnocco fritto · Frico · More pairings →
A light 11% body and gentle mousse sit under raw fish without overwhelming it, and the citrus lift cleans the palate between pieces. A safer match than an oaked white or a tannic red.
Try with: Sashimi · Nigiri Sushi · Prawn tempura · More pairings →
The acacia and apple aromatics bridge to young, milky cheeses and fried-cheese nibbles, with acidity cutting their fat. Keep the cheeses mild so the wine is not buried.
Try with: Frico · Arancini · Fonduta · More pairings →
Chilli heat amplifies the wine's light body and turns the 14 g/l of sugar cloying, while big spice blends bury its delicate golden-apple fruit. Reach for an off-dry Alto Adige Gewürztraminer instead.

Tank-method Prosecco like this organic La Gioiosa loses its primary fruit and gentle mousse with age. There is no upside to holding it; drink within a year or two of buying, well chilled.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Built for freshness, not the cellar; a non-vintage tank-method Prosecco that should be drunk within a year or two.

Confidence · MediumYes. It is a certified organic Prosecco DOC (vino biologico), grown under organic viticulture in the Prosecco DOC zone and made from 100% Glera.
It is labelled Brut. In practice it carries about 14 g/l of residual sugar against 5.8 g/l acidity, so it tastes soft and fruity rather than bone-dry, at the gentler end of Brut.
From Treviso in Veneto, north-east Italy. La Gioiosa is a Moretti Polegato family brand based at Crocetta del Montello, sourcing Glera from across the Prosecco DOC area.
Pale and gently fizzy, with ripe golden apple, pear, acacia and a touch of wildflower honey, a soft 11% body and a short, fruity finish. Vivino drinkers rate it 3.8 from over 870 ratings.
Serve it cold at 6-8°C as an aperitif, or with fried seafood, Venetian cicchetti, shellfish and sushi. Avoid chilli-heavy, heavily spiced dishes, which overwhelm its delicate fruit.
It sells for around £15 in the UK. As a non-vintage tank-method Prosecco it is bottled for freshness, so keep it cool and drink it within a year or two of buying.
