Sparkling Wine

Piccini Venetian Dress Extra Dry Prosecco, Prosecco D.O.C., Italy: Under the stewardship of a new, fourth-generation team, Tenute Piccini has cemented its reputation as one of Italy’s most spirited family-run wineries. This sparkling wine is produced using pressurised tanks and benefits from an extended ageing period of three months—far surpassing the customary 30 days—before bottling. The prolonged maturation crafts an animated effervescence with lively bubbles, imparting nuances of crisp orchard fruit. The result is a sophisticated finish that is both clean and elegantly precise. Try it with grilled shrimp, oysters, and soft cheeses. Prosecco food pairings: grilled shrimp, oysters, soft cheeses. Drink: 2025 - 2027 42635 11% XD 750 mL $24.95 Score: 88/100. May 2025. Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
