Glera leads with orchard fruit: apple, pear and green apple are the descriptors Vivino reviewers reach for most often on this label, ahead of a clean lemon-citrus lift. A faint white-blossom note sits behind the fruit. The aromatics are primary and fresh, as the Charmat tank method intends, not bready or toasty.

- Taste profile
Dry and brisk at 10.5% ABV, with low residual sugar in the brut register and a soft, frothy bead rather than a fine Champagne-style mousse. Apple and pear carry through from the nose, lifted by lemon acidity; a handful of Vivino reviewers note a faint biscuit edge from brief lees contact. Light-bodied and uncomplicated, built for easy drinking.
Short to medium and cleanly dry, closing on green apple and citrus with a crisp, refreshing snap.
An honest, everyday Prosecco DOC rather than a hillside Conegliano cru: drink it young and cold as a spritz base or a simple aperitivo. Vivino's crowd lands it at 4.1 over 2,484 ratings, with reviewers consistently calling it crisp, gentle and easy. The 20cl piccolo at 4.74 GBP makes it a single-glass pour for one.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that complement this wine
Glera acidity and a low 10.5% ABV: what fits Via Vai Prosecco
A dry, low-alcohol, lightly fizzy Glera Prosecco pairs on acidity and bubbles rather than weight. It cuts salt and fat and refreshes the palate between bites, which is why Vivino drinkers pour it with shellfish, cured meat and aperitivo snacks.
Salty fried antipasti and cicchetti
A dry, frothy Glera Prosecco at 10.5% ABV rinses salt and frying oil off the palate, and the bubbles reset it between bites. This is the classic Venetian cicchetti reflex: low alcohol keeps the pairing refreshing rather than heavy.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · Arancini · Pizza Fritta · More pairings →
Cured meats and charcuterie
Brisk lemon acidity and a soft bead cut through the fat and salt of prosciutto and salumi, a pairing Vivino reviewers reach for repeatedly with this label. The wine stays light enough not to compete with the meat.
Try with: Gnocco fritto · Arancini · More pairings →
Shellfish and delicate seafood
Glera's clean citrus and dry finish flatter briny shellfish without overpowering them, and the fizz lifts richer bites. Vivino's crowd lists shellfish among its top matches for this Prosecco.
Try with: Oysters · Potted Shrimp · Crab · More pairings →
Sushi and lighter Japanese plates
Apple-and-pear aromatics and a low 10.5% ABV bridge to delicate raw fish and lightly fried izakaya bites, where bubbles and acidity matter more than body.
Try with: Nigiri Sushi · Sashimi · Edamame · More pairings →
Tomato-led and fried pizza
Lemon-fresh acidity matches bright tomato and the dry bead lightens fried or cheese-rich slices. A low-alcohol fizz keeps a casual pizza night easy.
Try with: Pizza Margherita · Pizza Marinara · Pizza Fritta · More pairings →
Skip chilli heat and sweet desserts
A dry 10.5% brut Prosecco has no sugar to tame chilli heat and too little body to stand up to rich sweets, so spice burns hotter and the wine tastes thin and sharp.

Common Questions
It is dry, made in the brut style with low residual sugar. Expect crisp apple, pear and lemon rather than sweetness, at a gentle 10.5% ABV.
Glera, the signature grape of Prosecco DOC. Like nearly all everyday Prosecco it is made by the tank (Charmat) method, which keeps the fruit fresh and the bubbles soft.
Apple, pear and green apple lead, with a clean lemon-citrus lift and a dry, lightly fizzy, refreshing finish. Vivino reviewers rate it 4.1 from over 2,400 ratings and call it crisp and easy.
Salty fried antipasti, cured meats, shellfish and sushi all work, because its acidity and bubbles cut salt and fat. Avoid chilli heat and sweet desserts, where a dry low-alcohol fizz falls short.
Serve it well chilled at around 6 to 8 C, as a spritz base or a simple aperitivo. It is a non-vintage wine built to drink young, so enjoy it within a year or two of buying.
For a 20cl piccolo it is a fair everyday price, ideal as a single-glass pour. It is an honest entry-level Prosecco DOC, not a premium Conegliano Valdobbiadene cru.
