Nose

Lemon and pear, the two fruits Enotria's own sheet names, with the peach that Great Wines Direct picks out. Vivino drinkers who reviewed the brand's Extra Dry mention pear and apple most, 29 times in 45 reviews, then citrus 17 times. Yeasty notes barely feature: five mentions. This is fruit-led fizz.

LemonLemon
AppleApple
Green AppleGreen Apple
PeachPeach
PearPear
Palate

Light and gently fizzy at 10.5%. Enotria says the grapes are picked a little early to keep the acidity, so the wine tastes crisp rather than soft. The juice settles cold for 12 hours before it ferments, which keeps it clean and fruity. The bubbles come from a second fermentation in a pressurised tank, the method every Prosecco DOC uses, so they are lighter and gentler than bottle-fermented fizz.

Finish

Short and dry, in the seller's words an aromatic, dry, refreshing finish. Wine-Searcher files the brand's Brut under Fresh and Youthful, which is the right way to read it: drink it cold and young.

Overall

An importer's own-label Prosecco. Enotria, the London firm that owns the Stelle d'Italia name, takes Glera from hillside vineyards across the Prosecco DOC zone rather than from one estate. On Vivino the brand's two Proseccos rate 3.5 (Brut, 83 ratings) and 3.7 (Extra Dry, 298 ratings); the shop does not say which style this bottle is. At £10.67 it is a party and aperitivo bottle: cold, simple and fruity.

Wine fit score

How Stelle d'Italia scores for beginners, everyday drinking, value and food

Four scores out of ten, worked out from Enotria's sheet and today's price. Beginners and everyday drinking score highest: dry, fruity, 10.5% and £10.67. Value is close behind. Food scores well for light dishes only.

Best intro to this style 9.0/10

Dry, fruity, fizzy and 10.5% alcohol: about as easy as wine gets.

Best everyday bottle 8.8/10

Under £11, low in alcohol and served fridge-cold: a Friday-night bottle.

Best value 8.2/10

£10.67 for a Prosecco DOC that the importer lists to the trade at £8.76; judged on price band, as no category price table exists.

Best with food 7.8/10

Light, lemony and fizzy: right for shellfish, fried starters and creamy pasta; too light for red meat.

Best for an occasion 5.5/10

Fizz for a party or a toast, but an importer's own label rather than a named estate.

Best for cellar 1.0/10

A non-vintage Prosecco made to be drunk on release; 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.

A non-vintage Prosecco: drink it on release

Stelle d'Italia carries no year. Enotria harvests slightly early to keep the acidity and the delicate fruit, and that freshness is the whole point. Buy it, chill it and drink it within the year.

The disciplinare, the place, the label

Prosecco DOC: what the label guarantees and what it does not

Prosecco DOC is Italy's biggest sparkling wine: the Consorzio counted 667 million bottles in 2025, and the UK is its second export market. The rules fix the grape, at least 85% Glera, and the tank method. They do not name a vineyard, and Stelle d'Italia's grapes come from across the zone.

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.

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.

02

Main factor

  1. 01

    An importer's own label from across the Prosecco zone

    Cost down

    Enotria, the London importer, owns the Stelle d'Italia name and takes Glera from hillside vineyards across Veneto's Prosecco region rather than one estate. Buying grapes across the whole zone is what keeps an own-label Prosecco under £11.

  2. 02

    Tank method and a quick turnaround

    Cost down

    Enotria's sheet: the still wine gets its bubbles from a second fermentation in pressurised tanks, then it is sold without a vintage. No bottle ageing, no cellar stock and no oak.

  3. 03

    UK duty and VAT on a 10.5% wine

    Cost up

    At the February 2026 rate of £30.62 per litre of pure alcohol, a 75cl bottle at 10.5% carries £2.41 of duty. Add 20% VAT and £4.19 of the £10.67 price is tax.

  4. 04

    A trade list price of £8.76 leaves the shop a slim margin

    Cost up

    Enotria's public list price to the trade is £8.76; Great Wines Direct sells it at £10.67, £1.91 more. That gap has to cover the shop's delivery and margin, so the price has little room to fall.

Perfect Pairings

Dishes that go with this wine

Food Pairing

Aperitif first, then shellfish and fried starters

Enotria's own advice is to drink Stelle d'Italia on its own before dinner. After that the lemon and the bubbles do the work: they cut salt, frying oil and cream, which is why shellfish, tempura and a mushroom risotto all fit.

Fat cutting Strong match

Fried starters and salty snacks

Enotria's first suggestion is to drink it on its own as an aperitif, and Vivino's experts list appetisers and snacks. The acidity and the bubbles scrub salt and frying oil off the tongue, so a plate of salt and pepper squid or tempura tastes lighter with each sip.

Try with: Salt and pepper squid · Salt and pepper prawns · Spring rolls · Tempura · More pairings →

Acidity matching Strong match

Shellfish, potted shrimp and smoked salmon

Vivino's experts put shellfish at the top of the list. Lemon-scented fizz does what a squeeze of lemon does on a prawn: it lifts the sweetness of the flesh and cuts the butter in potted shrimp. At 10.5% the wine stays out of the way of delicate fish.

Try with: Potted Shrimp · Scottish Smoked Salmon · Oysters · Crab · More pairings →

Body matching Good match

Creamy pasta and mushroom risotto

Enotria says the wine has enough flavour to hold its own against creamy pasta and mushroom risotto. Light body meets a light dish. The bubbles cut through cream and cheese, and the pear and lemon fruit stays in front of the earthy mushrooms.

Try with: Porcini mushroom risotto · Truffle risotto · Risotto alla Milanese · Pasta alla carbonara · More pairings →

Aromatic bridge Good match

Light white meat and fish from the grill

Enotria suggests lightly barbecued white meats. Grilled chicken has little fat and a mild flavour, so a big wine would drown it. A light, lemony Prosecco matches its weight and echoes the lemon most people squeeze over chicken and fish.

Try with: Roast chicken · Roast turkey · Salmon · Crab · More pairings →

Salt balance Good match

Cured meat and a cheese board

Vivino's experts also list cured meat. Salt and fat in Parma ham or a pork pie make a dry wine taste rounder and fruitier, and the fizz keeps the mouth fresh. It is a cheap and cheerful way to start a party.

Try with: Cheese board · Gnocco fritto · Melton Mowbray Pork Pie · Lancashire Cheese

Avoid Clash

Heavy red meat, rich sauces and sweet puddings

A light 10.5% fizz vanishes next to a beef ragù or barbecue ribs. A pudding sweeter than the wine makes a dry Prosecco taste thin and sour. Keep it for the start of the meal.

Skip with: BBQ ribs · Ragu alla bolognese · Cheesecake · Trifle · Pairing guide →

Drinking + cellar

Not one to keep: buy it for the fridge

There is no collector case for an own-label Prosecco at £10.67 and 10.5%. Enotria makes it to be fresh, and it is sold without a vintage. Keep a bottle cold for guests and replace it when it goes.

Common Questions

Enotria Winecellars, the London wine importer, owns the Stelle d'Italia brand. The grapes come from hillside vineyards across the Prosecco DOC zone in Veneto rather than from one named estate. The shop's stock code, EN-641661AV, is Enotria's own product code.

Yes, to taste: Great Wines Direct describes an aromatic, dry, refreshing finish. The shop does not say whether the label reads Brut or Extra Dry. Under EU sparkling wine labelling rules, Extra Dry means 12 to 17 grams of sugar per litre, which most people still read as dry.

Glera, 100% according to Enotria. The Prosecco DOC rules require at least 85% Glera; the rest may be Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Nero made as a white, or local grapes such as Bianchetta.

Start with it as an aperitif, then shellfish, fried starters and creamy pasta or mushroom risotto. Enotria also suggests lightly barbecued white meats.

£10.67 a bottle at Great Wines Direct on 10 September 2026, in stock. Enotria, which owns the brand, lists it to the trade at £8.76.

10.5% alcohol, which is low for a wine. The seller and Enotria both say 10.5%; Vivino lists the brand's Proseccos at 11%.
