Wine fit score

Who Serena's Valdobbiadene Extra Dry suits

Beginner, Food and Occasion are where this wine scores best. Its soft, lightly sweet bubbles are easy to like, easy to match with salty or fried bites, and right for a toast.

Best intro to this style 8.5/10

Soft, fresh and lightly sweet, with flowers and tropical fruit. It is an easy first Prosecco Superiore for anyone who finds a Brut too sharp.

Best with food 8.0/10

Fresh bubbles and a soft touch of sugar suit fried seafood, raw fish, cured ham and aperitif bites. It is too light for rich meat and is best kept away from sweet puddings.

Best for an occasion 8.0/10

A good bottle for an aperitif, a toast or a party where some guests like a softer sparkling wine than a Brut.

Best value 6.5/10

The shop takes a little off each bottle when you buy six.

Best everyday bottle 6.0/10
Best for cellar 1.0/10

The shop page names no vintage year, so there is no way to tell a bottle's age. Open it soon after buying rather than keeping it.

What Falstaff scored the Serena 1881 Valdobbiadene Extra Dry

Falstaff's Othmar Kiem and Simon Staffler scored the Serena 1881 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Dry at 89 points in a tasting on 26 April 2022.

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.

02

The denomination rules, in detail

  • Allowed grapes. 5 varieties listed in the disciplinare
  • Yield ceiling. 13.5 tonnes per hectare
  • Alcohol minimum in the rules. 11.0% vol. A total-alcohol minimum includes the alcohol the remaining sugar could produce, so the ABV on the label can be lower.
  • Minimum ageing. No minimum ageing, the rules set a release date only for Rive (from 1 March) and sui lieviti (90 days on the lees)
  • Tasting panel. Chemical analysis and a tasting commission before sale, required by Italian law for every DOC and DOCG

Food Pairing

Food for Serena's Valdobbiadene Extra Dry

The producer suggests it as an aperitif and with fish. Its touch of sugar also softens salty ham and mild spice, but a sweet pudding will make it taste thin.

Fat cutting Strong match

Japanese tempura and sushi

The fresh bubbles of this Glera Prosecco Superiore scrub the oil from light tempura batter, and its touch of sugar sits well with sweet prawns and sushi rice.

Try with: Prawn Tempura · Tempura · Nigiri Sushi · More pairings →

Salt balance Strong match

Salty cured ham and aperitif bites

With 15 to 17 grams of sugar per litre, this Extra Dry Prosecco softens the salt of cured ham and olives, where a Brut can taste sharp.

Try with: Prosciutto di Parma · Green olives · Arancini

Acidity matching Good match

Oysters, raw fish and smoked salmon

The producer pairs this Valdobbiadene Prosecco with fish. Its freshness matches the clean, briny taste of raw fish and shellfish.

Try with: Oysters · Sashimi · Scottish Smoked Salmon

Body matching Good match

Light fish pasta and seafood risotto

Light in body, this Glera Prosecco Superiore keeps pace with delicate fish first courses without covering the seafood.

Try with: Linguine alle vongole · Seafood risotto · Squid ink risotto

Sweet balance Good match

Gently spiced prawns

A little sugar in this Extra Dry Prosecco takes the edge off mild pepper and sweet and sour sauces.

Try with: Salt and pepper prawns · Sweet and sour prawns · Tandoori prawns

Avoid Clash

Sweet puddings

A pudding much sweeter than this Extra Dry Prosecco makes its fruit taste thin and sharp. Keep it for before the meal.

Skip with: Treacle Tart · Chocolate cake · Tiramisu · Pairing guide →
