What is Dacastello Prosecco DOC Extra Dry Millesimato?

Dacastello Prosecco comes from the Veneto region in Northern Italy, the heartland of Prosecco production. It’s made primarily from Glera grapes, which are known for producing light, aromatic and refreshing sparkling wines.

The “DOC” label means it’s officially certified under Italian law, guaranteeing authentic origin, controlled production and quality standards. The term Millesimato means the wine is made from grapes harvested in a single vintage year. This usually indicates better fruit selection and more attention in the vineyard, which you can taste in the glass.

Despite the name, Extra Dry Prosecco isn’t actually dry. In Prosecco terms, “Extra Dry” sits in the slightly sweeter bracket, making it incredibly approachable and popular for social occasions.

Alcohol is around 11%. The style is fresh and fruity with a lightly off-dry finish. Region is Veneto, Italy, and the grape is Glera.

How does it taste?

This is where this Prosecco really shines. On the nose, you’ll notice green apple, pear, white peach and subtle floral notes. On the palate, there’s light sweetness, crisp acidity, soft bubbles and a clean, refreshing finish.

It’s not overly sugary and it’s not bone dry either. It sits perfectly in the middle. That balance makes it incredibly easy to drink, even for people who don’t normally go for sparkling wine.

Compared to supermarket Prosecco, this feels fresher, better balanced, less harsh and more refined. You can comfortably enjoy a second glass without feeling overwhelmed by sweetness or fizz.

Best food pairings

One of the reasons we love this bottle is how versatile it is with food.

For starters, it pairs beautifully with bruschetta, burrata, antipasti platters and prawns. With main dishes, it works well with risotto, light pasta dishes, grilled chicken and seafood linguine. For cheese, try mozzarella, soft goat’s cheese or young pecorino. If you’re having dessert, lemon tart, fresh strawberries and light pastries all work brilliantly.

The gentle sweetness complements salty foods, while the acidity cuts through creamy dishes, making it incredibly flexible at the table.

When would I actually open this Prosecco?

This is the kind of bottle I keep chilled for those “just in case” moments. If friends pop round unexpectedly, it’s perfect to open straight away. Everyone enjoys it, even people who usually stick to still wine or cocktails.

For casual evenings, it works as an aperitivo before dinner or alongside nibbles. It’s also a great brunch bottle if you’re hosting, especially with smoked salmon or pastries on the table.

This works brilliantly as a welcome drink or for toasts. It’s elegant without being expensive, which makes it ideal if you’re buying in larger quantities. We regularly supply weddings across the UK.

Why choose Dacastello over supermarket Prosecco?

Supermarket Prosecco is often produced in huge volumes, prioritising price over character. While there’s nothing wrong with that, you can usually taste the difference.

With Dacastello, you’re getting smaller-batch production, better fruit selection and more attention to detail. We source directly from Italian producers and store all our wines properly in the UK, so you’re not getting bottles that have been sat in warm warehouses.

You also get fast delivery, real customer support and advice from people who actually drink and understand the wines they sell. That’s something you simply don’t get from a supermarket shelf.

Extra Dry vs Brut vs Dry – what’s the difference?

Prosecco labelling can be confusing. Here’s a simple breakdown.

Brut is the driest style, with very little sugar. Extra Dry is slightly sweeter and the most popular style. Dry is actually the sweetest of the three.

This bottle sits in the Extra Dry category, which is why it appeals to such a wide audience. It’s not sharp or austere, but it’s also not dessert-sweet. It’s the perfect middle ground.

FAQs

Is Extra Dry Prosecco sweet?
It’s lightly sweet but still refreshing. Think fruit-forward rather than sugary.

How many calories are in a glass?
Roughly 80–90 calories per standard glass.

What temperature should I serve it?
Chilled at around 6–8°C for best results.

How long does it last once opened?
Ideally drink within 24 hours. Use a sparkling wine stopper to preserve bubbles.

What’s the difference between DOC and DOCG?
DOC guarantees origin and quality. DOCG is a higher classification with stricter rules, but DOC Prosecco can still be excellent, as this bottle proves.
