Tasting Notes

What Valdo Cuvée di Boj tastes like

Valdo's own note promises "a pronounced fruitiness of pear and golden apple", and that is what you meet first. It is a Brut, so it holds no more than 12 grams of sugar a litre. That makes it drier than an Extra Dry, whatever the names suggest.

Body
Light, from a UK shop's listing
Nose

Pear and golden apple lead, over a light scent of white flowers close to jasmine. Underneath sits a faint note of bread crust. The whole is delicate and inviting rather than loud.

Toasted breadToasted bread
GrapefruitGrapefruit
LemonLemon
JasmineJasmine
AppleApple
PearPear
Palate

Light and dry, as a Brut should be, with fine, steady bubbles. The pear turns juicy, with a twist of candied lemon and grapefruit, and fresh acidity keeps it lively. It spends about five months in a sealed tank, the slow version of the usual Prosecco method, then rests in bottle. In the mouth it feels airy rather than sharp.

Finish

Long and dry. The pear and golden apple stay with you after the bubbles fade, the "excellent persistence of aroma and flavour" that Valdo's own note promises.

Overall

Valdo's Brut from one named valley in Valdobbiadene: dry and light, and the one to pick if you find Extra Dry too sweet. Drink it young; we would finish a bottle bought now by the end of 2027. Falstaff gave it 93 points in October 2025.

Wine fit score

Where Valdo Cuvée di Boj fits

Its strongest cards are Best intro to this style and Best with food. It is a dry, light Brut at 11.5% that suits fish, shellfish and fried snacks.

Best intro to this style 8.5/10

Easy to like: light, dry without being harsh, 11.5% alcohol, with pear and apple up front. A clear first taste of what Glera from the Valdobbiadene hills is like.

Best with food 8.2/10

Dry, light and finely sparkling, it cuts through batter and oil and stays gentle with fish and shellfish, the food Valdo itself suggests.

Best value 7.4/10

About £15 a bottle, towards the lower end of what UK shops charge for Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore, for a wine Falstaff scored 93 in 2025.

Best everyday bottle 7.0/10

Light at 11.5% and easy to drink, so it suits a midweek fish supper. At about £15 it is more of a treat than a nightly bottle.

Best for an occasion 6.2/10

A DOCG Prosecco Superiore from the Valdobbiadene hills with fine, lasting bubbles: smart enough for a toast or a party, though not a grand-occasion wine.

Best for cellar 1.5/10

There is no year on the label and nothing to gain from keeping it. We would drink a bottle bought now by the end of 2027.

The disciplinare, the place, the label

Falstaff scored Valdo Cuvée di Boj 93 points in 2025

Falstaff's tasters gave it 93 points in October 2025, calling it "everything a great Valdobbiadene must have". They scored it 94 in 2022. The house behind it was founded in Valdobbiadene in 1926, took the name Valdo in 1951 and turns 100 this year.

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.

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco is in the DOCG tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.

Tracked from
£13.30
Direction
Mostly cost up
Drivers
4 up / 1 down
Main factor
Bubbles made in a tank, not bottle by bottle
  1. 01

    Glera from the Valle dei Buoi slopes, picked by hand

    Cost up

    The grapes grow on slopes 200 to 400 metres up in one valley of Valdobbiadene and are picked by hand in the second half of September. Hand work on hillsides is the slow, costly way to bring a crop in.

  2. 02

    The DOCG hills cap the crop at 13.5 tonnes a hectare

    Cost up

    Cuvée di Boj is a Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, where the rules allow 13.5 tonnes of grapes a hectare. Plain Prosecco DOC allows 18. Fewer grapes from the same land put more of the vineyard's cost on each bottle.

  3. 03

    About five months in tank and three in bottle

    Cost up

    Valdo uses the long, slow version of the tank method, then rests the wine in bottle. Holding it for about eight months, five in tank and three in bottle, ties up tanks and stock, a cost a quicker tank wine avoids.

  4. 04

    Bubbles made in a tank, not bottle by bottle

    Cost down

    Valdo makes these bubbles in a sealed pressure tank, not in each bottle as for its own Numero 10 Metodo Classico, which ages longer in bottle. One big tank needs far less handling than thousands of bottles, which keeps the price near £15.

  5. 05

    UK duty and VAT take about a third of a £15 bottle

    Cost up

    At 11.5% alcohol, UK duty on a 75cl bottle is about £2.64. VAT is a sixth of the price: £2.50 on a £15 bottle. So about £5.14 of £15 is tax. The low alcohol helps, since a 13.5% wine pays about £3.10 in duty.

01

Glera from the Valle dei Buoi slopes, picked by hand

Cost up

The grapes grow on slopes 200 to 400 metres up in one valley of Valdobbiadene and are picked by hand in the second half of September. Hand work on hillsides is the slow, costly way to bring a crop in.

Perfect Pairings

Dishes that go with this wine

Food Pairing

Fish, fried food and the Venice lagoon with Cuvée di Boj

Valdo matches it with fish-based dishes and calls it "a wine that perfectly accompanies the entire meal". The bubbles and fresh acidity cut through batter and oil, and the light body never swamps delicate fish.

Fat cutting Strong match

Fried snacks from the Italian table

Fine bubbles and fresh acidity scrub the oil off your tongue, so the next fried mouthful tastes as light as the first. Cuvée di Boj is a dry Prosecco Superiore Brut at 11.5%, so it refreshes rather than weighs you down.

Try with: Gnocco fritto · Arancini · Pizza Fritta · More pairings →

Salt balance Strong match

Creamed salt cod and other Venetian classics

This is the food of the Veneto, the wine's home. The Brut's acidity and bubbles cut the salty, olive-oil richness of creamed salt cod. Glera's gentle pear fruit sits easily beside the sweet little lagoon shrimp on white polenta.

Try with: Baccala Mantecato · Polenta e schie · Risi e bisi · More pairings →

Acidity matching Good match

Oysters, mussels and other shellfish

A dry Brut with fresh acidity works like a squeeze of lemon on shellfish. Cuvée di Boj's clean pear and citrus notes stay out of the way of the sea flavours, and the bubbles keep each mouthful fresh.

Try with: Oysters · Potted Shrimp · Mussels · Impepata di cozze

Body matching Good match

Delicate white fish

Light in body at 11.5%, this Valdobbiadene Brut never swamps a delicate piece of fish. Fish is the match Valdo itself suggests, and the wine can stay on the table from the first course to the last.

Try with: Steamed sea bass · Sashimi · Scottish Smoked Salmon

Aromatic bridge Good match

Pear, blue cheese and creamy risotto

The pear in the wine meets the pear in a Gorgonzola risotto, while the bubbles lift the creamy rice and salty cheese. A Brut Prosecco Superiore like this one has the acidity to stay fresh against butter and Parmesan.

Try with: Gorgonzola, pear, and walnut risotto · Pumpkin risotto · Risotto alla Milanese · More pairings →

Avoid Clash

Hot chilli dishes

Chilli heat flattens Cuvée di Boj's delicate pear and flower scents and makes the bubbles feel prickly. A Brut has little sugar to soften the burn. For spicy food, pick a sweeter Prosecco Superiore Dry instead.

Skip with: Chicken madras · Szechuan beef · Jungle Curry · Mapo tofu · Pairing guide →

Cuvée di Boj, Valdo and the Valdobbiadene hills

Common Questions

Yes. It is a Brut, the driest of the three classic Prosecco Superiore styles. A Brut holds up to 12 grams of sugar a litre, an Extra Dry 12 to 17 and a Dry 18 to 32.

It comes from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, the hillsides of 15 towns between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. The rules there cap the crop at 13.5 tonnes of grapes a hectare, against 18 for plain Prosecco DOC. Cuvée di Boj comes from Valdobbiadene itself.

From the Valle dei Buoi, the valley of the oxen, in San Pietro di Barbozza, a hamlet of Valdobbiadene. The Glera for this wine grows there, on slopes between 200 and 400 metres up, and the wine takes its name from the valley.

Fish, which is Valdo's own advice, and it can stay on the table for the whole meal. It is very good with creamed salt cod, shrimp on polenta, oysters and fried snacks such as gnocco fritto. Avoid hot chilli, which flattens its delicate fruit.

About £15 for a single bottle. Three UK shops sell it in the standard 75cl size, and two of them charge a little less a bottle when you buy several.

Serve it at 6 to 7°C, as Valdo advises. Chill it slowly in the fridge, without sudden changes of temperature, and pour it into a long-stemmed glass.
