This distinguished sparkling wine is produced by the prestigious and multi-award-winning Andreola winery, an absolute benchmark in mountain viticulture. Its specific origin rigorously comes from the exclusive hills of Valdobbiadene, integrated into the pinnacle of quality of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG appellation, in the Veneto region, Italy.
Is this wine dry, semi-dry, or sweet?
The Andreola Martino Valdobbiadene is a strictly dry wine. Being classified under the demanding 'Extra Brut' category, it has a minimal or almost zero dosage of residual sugar, which gives it an extremely clean, vertical, fresh mouthfeel with a markedly gastronomic character.
What does the mention 'Prosecco Superiore DOCG' on this bottle mean?
The mention 'Superiore DOCG' certifies that the grapes come exclusively from the historical and qualitative hilly area, mandatorily harvested by hand due to the steep slopes.

How long can this sparkling wine be stored in a cellar?
Like great sparkling wines focused on the fruit clarity and primary minerality of the Glera grape, it is designed to be enjoyed in its prime youth. It is advisable to consume it preferably within 1 to 2 years of purchase, ensuring the bottle is stored in a cool place, at a constant temperature, and protected from direct light.
