Prosecco D.O.C. Extra Dry Treviso

The Finer Details

What does our Somm say?

Prosecco Extra Dry is the classic version of Prosecco and is (ironically) not the ‘driest’ Prosecco we have (for that, refer to our ‘Brut). ‘Extra Dry’ actually refers to the level of residual sugar in the wine, and whilst we don’t consider it ‘sweet’, it is mid-level in terms of classification (14 grams residually per litre).

 

This Prosecco Treviso D.O.C Extra Dry is perfect as an aperitif and shows nuances of mango and green apples, it compliments cheese and salami or risottos as an entree. Its versatility lends itself to the Asian kitchen like sushi and sashimi.

 

Optimal Serving Temp: 8-10 Degrees Celsius

 

The Winery

Cester Camillo are producers of 100% Italian Prosecco and cider. Their boutique family estate can be found in the enchanting ‘DOC’ region of Nervesa Della Battaglia, Treviso, Italia, nestled between the banks of the Piave River and the beautiful Montello hill.

 

Most days you can find Giovanni (third generation winemaker) keeping an eye on the steel tanks of new vintage, or the health of the soil –  while his father (Adrianetto) will happily tend to his small beloved fields on a small blue tractor.

The winery has 2700 vines per hectare, with an imprint of 20 hectares.

What is D.O.C Treviso?

If you see D.O.C. on your prosecco label, this refers to the Italian acronym ‘Denominazione di Origine Controllata’ (or ‘Controlled designation of origin’).

 

For a Prosecco to have ‘D.O.C.’ on it’s label, it’s production of prosecco needs to fall into one of the four provinces determined by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture, preserving this wine’s historical and geographical significance, and promoting Prosecco of true quality. ‘Treviso D.O.C.’ reflects an even higher quality prosecco, like Cester Camillo’s.
