Cantine Maschio keeps only the juice from the first gentle pressing and settles it cold for 12 hours before it ferments. The result is a light, soft Prosecco DOC that smells of white peach and orange blossom.

White peach and orange blossom come first, then pear and a squeeze of lemon. Cantine Maschio uses only the juice from the first gentle pressing, which the winery likens to making extra virgin olive oil.
Light and soft, with a lively fizz and a gentle touch of sweetness. Extra Dry keeps 12 to 17 grams of sugar per litre, more than a Brut, and here it rounds out flavours of peach and almond. At 10.5% alcohol it feels easy rather than heady.
The finish is clean, with lemon and a hint of almond, and turns a little firm at the very end. Maschio settles the juice cold for 12 hours before it ferments, a step the winery takes to protect the grape's aroma.
An easy, good-value party Prosecco rather than a complex one. Drinkers pick out pear and peach most, with lemon behind, and Falstaff scored an earlier bottling 87 points in 2019. Open it by the end of 2027.
Maschio Prosecco Extra Dry at £10.50, only sold by Majestic here
Majestic is the one shop on this page, at £10.50 a bottle, with a lower price per bottle when you mix six. With one shop there is no price to compare here. Even so, £10.50 is less than most Prosecco DOC costs in UK shops.
Where Cantine Maschio's Extra Dry Prosecco scores best
Best intro to this style and Best value lead the scores. This is a soft Prosecco DOC from Cantine Maschio, with gentle sweetness and 10.5% alcohol, at £10.50 a bottle.
Soft, fruity and lightly sweet, with only 10.5% alcohol. It shows plain Prosecco DOC as most people know it: white peach, pear and gentle bubbles.
At £10.50 a bottle, and less in a mixed six at Majestic, it costs less than most Prosecco DOC sold in UK shops.
Low price, low alcohol and an easy, fruity style make it a bottle to open on an ordinary evening rather than save for later.
Fresh acidity, bubbles and a slight sweetness make it an easy partner for fried snacks, salty starters and smoked fish. It is too light for rich meat or strong chilli.
Good fizz for a party or a toast at a fair price. A plain Prosecco DOC will not impress like a Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG or a Franciacorta.
A non-vintage Prosecco made in tanks and bottled ready to drink. Prosecco is best drunk young, so there is nothing to gain from keeping it.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.

No vintage on the label: a Prosecco DOC to drink young
This Extra Dry carries no year. Cantine Maschio stores its grape juice so it can make sparkling wine all year round, which keeps the fruit fresh. Prosecco is best drunk young, so we would finish a bottle bought now by the end of 2027.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that go with this wine
Fried snacks and salty starters for Maschio's Extra Dry Prosecco
Extra Dry Prosecco keeps 12 to 17 grams of sugar per litre, and that slight sweetness sets off salty canapés and starters. The bubbles and fresh acidity scrub away oil, so arancini, gnocco fritto and fish and chips all work with Cantine Maschio's Prosecco DOC.
Fried Italian snacks: arancini and gnocco fritto
The bubbles and fresh acidity scrub oil from the mouth after each bite, and the light body never weighs the food down. A soft Extra Dry Prosecco DOC like Maschio's keeps fried rice balls and puffed fried dough tasting light.
Try with: Arancini · Gnocco fritto · Pizza Fritta · Panzerotti · More pairings →
Venetian salt cod and small shrimps on polenta
The slight sweetness of an Extra Dry softens salt, and the bubbles lift creamy textures. Maschio's Prosecco DOC, from a winery in the Veneto, sits well beside baccalà mantecato, the whipped salt cod of Venice.
Try with: Baccala Mantecato · Polenta e schie · Vitello Tonnato · More pairings →
Smoked salmon and British shellfish starters
Fresh acidity and bubbles cut through oily smoked fish and buttery potted shrimp. With oysters, the touch of sugar in this Extra Dry Prosecco DOC from Maschio softens the salty brine.
Try with: Scottish Smoked Salmon · Potted Shrimp · Oysters · More pairings →
Sweet chilli dips, tempura and spring rolls
A sweet dipping sauce makes a very dry wine taste sour. Extra Dry Prosecco like Maschio's holds 12 to 17 grams of sugar per litre, enough to keep pace with a sweet chilli dip. The bubbles clean up the batter.
Try with: Spring rolls · Prawn Tempura · Salt and pepper prawns
Light Veneto rice and fresh summer plates
A light sparkling wine at 10.5% suits light dishes that a heavier white would bury. Maschio's Prosecco DOC matches risi e bisi, the Veneto rice and pea dish, and its peach fruit sits well with fresh mozzarella and tomato.
Try with: Risi e bisi · Insalata Caprese · Torta pasqualina · More pairings →
Fierce chilli heat
Strong chilli heat swamps the delicate peach and pear fruit, so the wine tastes thin and sharp. Keep Maschio's light Prosecco DOC for milder food and save the hot curry for another bottle.
Skip with: Chicken jalfrezi · Crispy chilli beef · Jungle Curry · Pizza Diavola · Pairing guide →
Keeping Maschio Prosecco Extra Dry: buy it to open soon
Cantine Maschio makes the bubbles in large sealed tanks over about four weeks, then bottles the wine ready to drink. It gains nothing from cellaring, so open it by the end of 2027 while the peach fruit is fresh.

Common Questions
It tastes dry with a soft touch of sweetness, a little sweeter than a Brut. Extra Dry Prosecco holds 12 to 17 grams of sugar per litre, while Brut stays under 12. In this bottle the sugar rounds out the white peach and pear and takes the edge off the acidity.
Cantine Maschio makes it at its winery in Visnà di Vazzola, in the province of Treviso. Bonaventura Maschio turned his family's century-old distillery into a winery in 1973. The winery is now part of Cantine Riunite & CIV, a co-operative wine group.
No, it is a different bottling. Maschio's Treviso Prosecco prints 'Treviso' on the label, and its grapes come from the Treviso area. The bottle pictured here says plain Prosecco DOC, an area that covers nine provinces across Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Majestic sells it, at £10.50 for a single bottle and less per bottle when you mix six. It is the only shop on this page, so there is no price to compare here.
Salty and fried starters suit it best: arancini, gnocco fritto, fish and chips or smoked salmon. The bubbles and fresh acidity clean up oil, and the slight sweetness softens salt. Avoid fiery chilli dishes, which make the wine taste thin.
Not long: we would open a bottle bought now by the end of 2027. It carries no vintage year, and Prosecco is best drunk young, while the fruit and bubbles are fresh.
