Valdo's gold-label Prosecco from the Valdobbiadene hills, made only from Glera. Extra Dry means a shade sweeter than Brut: apple, acacia and honey, soft bubbles, 11% alcohol. About £15 a bottle, from Italy's top Prosecco tier.

One shop sells this wine in the UK, so there is no price to compare between shops. Each price is the one on its page today, read daily.
No current retailer offer matches that combination.
Stock status is read from each retailer’s page once a day and may lag. Case and magnum listings show a per-bottle or per-litre equivalent and sit outside the best-price figure.
Valdo calls it slim and gentle, with a light sweetness at the end. Extra Dry holds 12 to 17 grams of sugar a litre under EU rules, so it is a shade sweeter than a Brut, not drier. Most people assume the opposite.
Valdo's own note calls the smell unmistakably fruity: wild apple, Golden apple, acacia flowers and honey. Drinkers say much the same. Apple, pear and green apple are the notes named most often across 24,571 ratings on Vivino. The floral lift sits behind the fruit rather than in front of it.

HoneyValdo describes the taste as slim and gentle, of moderate body, with a light sweetness left at the end. That sweetness is the Extra Dry label doing its job. EU rules set Extra Dry at 12 to 17 grams of sugar a litre, against under 12 for Brut. The bubbles are soft rather than sharp, which is what three months in a sealed tank gives you instead of years in bottle.
Short and clean. At 11% alcohol there is no heat to carry it on, and the light sweetness Valdo leaves at the end fades away with the apple.
This is Valdo's flagship gold label, built to be drunk young, inside about 18 months of bottling. The public verdict is warm rather than excited: 3.7 out of 5 from 24,571 Vivino ratings, praised as easy and soft, never as complicated.
The standard bottle works out at about £20 a litre. The magnum is the same per litre or a shade less, so it is the cheap way to buy more. The 3-litre jeroboam in its wooden box costs clearly more per litre, because you are paying for the box too.
It scores high for everyday drinking and for beginners: 11% alcohol, soft bubbles and about £15. It scores low for cellaring, because Valdo built it to be drunk young.
Soft bubbles, apple and honey, only 11% alcohol and a touch of sweetness, so nothing about it is hard work.
Cheap enough at about £15, light at 11%, and it opens a Tuesday as happily as a party.
Fizz and a light sweetness handle fried food, salt and mild chilli, though it is too delicate for red meat.
About £15 for Italy's top Prosecco tier, with 91 points from Falstaff and a Mundus Vini Best of Show behind it.
A gold label from the DOCG hills that also comes in magnum and 3-litre sizes, so it dresses up well without costing much.
Valdo gives it three months in tank and two in bottle and says drink it young, so there is nothing to age.

A compact view of what the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
Valdo blends this to one house style every harvest, so no year appears on the label. It spends three months in tank and two in bottle, then goes out. Drink it inside about 18 months of bottling.
Marca Oro carries no year on the label. Valdo blends it to the same house style every harvest, then releases it after three months in tank and two in bottle. Drink it inside about 18 months, while the apple and acacia are still bright.

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.
Falstaff scored it 91 out of 100. It took Best of Show at the Mundus Vini Prosecco Show in 2020 and gold at the Berliner Wein Trophy the same year. Valdo has been bottling in Valdobbiadene since 1926 and turns 100 this year.
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.
Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco falls within Veneto, covering The hill country of fifteen communes between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in the province of Treviso: Conegliano, San Vendemiano, Colle Umberto, Vittorio Veneto, Tarzo, Cison di Valmarino, San Pietro di Feletto, Refrontolo, Susegana, Pieve di Soligo, Farr.
Winery
Valdobbiadene
Wine area
Made at Valdo Spumanti, Valdobbiadene. Directions
The rules for these hills allow 13.5 tonnes of grapes a hectare. Plain Prosecco DOC out on the flat allows 18. Fewer grapes off the same land costs more per bottle.
The DOCG rules note the slopes are steep enough that machines only partly work, so most vineyard jobs are done by hand. Valdo picks the Glera for this wine by hand in the second half of September.
Valdo gives Marca Oro three months in a sealed tank and two in bottle. Bottle-fermented sparkling wine sits for years before sale. That short wait is the main reason a DOCG sparkling can land at about £15.
Marca Oro is the flagship of a house that sells roughly 19 million bottles a year. Glass, corks, labels and bottling all get cheaper at that size, and the saving shows in the shelf price.
At 11% alcohol, UK duty on a 750ml bottle is about £2.53, and VAT takes a sixth of whatever you pay, roughly £2.50 on a £15 bottle. The low alcohol helps: duty rises with strength, so a 13.5% wine pays more.
The standard bottle is about £20 a litre and the magnum about the same. The 3-litre jeroboam in its wooden box works out near £29 a litre, so the box and the rarity are what you are paying for.
Dishes that go with this wine
Valdo puts it forward as an aperitif and with delicate fish. The Venetian classics fit best: creamed salt cod, seafood risotto and sarde in saor. The fizz and the light sweetness also make short work of batter and salt.
Hot oil and salt coat your tongue. The fizz scrubs it clean, and the small amount of sugar in an Extra Dry rounds off the salt. At 11% alcohol it stays out of the way instead of adding heat on top of the fat.
Try with: Fish and Chips · Arancini · Gnocco fritto · Peperoni Cruschi · Prawn Tempura · More pairings →
Glera off the Valdobbiadene hills keeps a firm line of acid, and salty shellfish needs exactly that. Creamed salt cod and the tiny grey shrimp of the lagoon come from about an hour down the road. The match is local before it is clever.
Try with: Baccala Mantecato · Polenta e schie · Squid ink risotto · Impepata di cozze · More pairings →
Extra Dry carries 12 to 17 grams of sugar a litre, and sugar is what cools chilli heat. Alcohol makes heat worse, and at 11% there is little of it here. That makes this a better takeaway bottle than a bone-dry Brut.
Try with: Kerala prawn curry · Prawn masala · Tandoori prawns · Salt and pepper prawns · More pairings →
Valdo describes the smell as wild apple, acacia flowers and honey. Those notes sit under salty nibbles rather than fighting them. Valdo asks for 6 to 7 degrees in the glass, colder than most people pour Prosecco.
Try with: Oysters · Arancini · Baccala Mantecato · Focaccia · More pairings →
This is a light, sweet-edged sparkling wine of 11% alcohol. Against braised beef or a thick meat sauce it simply disappears, and the sugar sits awkwardly against the savoury depth. Pour a Valpolicella Ripasso instead, a smooth medium-bodied red from the same corner of Veneto.
Skip with: Brasato al Barolo · Ragu alla bolognese · Ossobuco alla Milanese · Fiorentina steak · Pairing guide →
Valdo builds this for freshness, not for age. Three months in tank, two in bottle, then out of the door. It is at its best inside 18 months and tired by two years.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
Pour it straight from the bottle.

£13.90 for a 75cl bottle, at Vino, is the best price we track, and we have no signal of further discounting.

Confidence · MediumYes, despite how it sounds. EU labelling rules put Brut under 12 grams of sugar a litre and Extra Dry at 12 to 17. So Extra Dry is the sweeter of the two. Valdo describes Marca Oro as leaving a light sweetness at the end.
The DOCG comes only from the hills of 15 villages between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, and the rules there cap the crop at 13.5 tonnes of grapes a hectare. Ordinary Prosecco DOC covers a far bigger area, much of it flat, and allows 18 tonnes. Those hills were made a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2019.
Apple, acacia flowers and honey, with soft bubbles and a light sweetness at the end. Valdo calls it slim and gentle. At 11% alcohol it is lighter than most white wine.
Drink it. Valdo gives it three months in tank and two in bottle, then sells it, and it is at its best inside about 18 months. It has nothing to gain from being kept.
The magnum is. At about £30 for 1.5 litres it costs roughly the same per litre as the standard bottle. The 3-litre jeroboam in its wooden box is around £88, nearer £29 a litre, so you pay extra for the box and the size.
Fried and salty things first: battered fish, arancini, gnocco fritto. Then shellfish and Venetian seafood, which is what Valdo suggests. It also handles a mild curry, because the sugar cools chilli heat.
