Alleria Extra Dry Sparkling Wine from Campania

Alleria Extra Dry Falanghina Sparkling Wine brings fresh Italian bubbles, Falanghina fruit and proper Campania character together in one seriously drinkable bottle. It is bright, lightly savoury, smooth and made for aperitifs, toasts and good food.

This is the bottle to grab when you want bubbles, but not the same old supermarket Prosecco. It is bright, smooth and easy to enjoy. However, it still has enough personality to feel interesting.

Alleria is made using the Charmat method. First, the wine goes through primary fermentation at a controlled temperature. Then, it has a second fermentation at 4.5 atmospheres. After that, it rests for 45 days in autoclave. As a result, the bubbles feel fresh, clean and lively.

In the glass, it shows a pale straw colour. On the nose, it is fresh, delicate and fruity. On the palate, it is harmonious and persistent, with a savoury edge and a gentle touch of acidity. Therefore, it feels refreshing without being sharp.

Although this is labelled Extra Dry, it is not bone dry. Instead, it has a softer, rounder feel than Brut sparkling wine. That makes it very easy to drink. It is ideal for people who like fresh bubbles, but prefer a smoother finish.

Why UK Buyers Will Like This Italian Sparkling Wine

Alleria is a great choice for UK wine drinkers who want something different from standard Prosecco. It still gives you freshness, sparkle and easy drinking. However, the Falanghina grape adds a more distinctive southern Italian flavour.

It works for birthdays, Friday nights, garden drinks, dinner parties and pre-meal aperitifs. It is also a strong choice for customers who want Italian bubbles with charm, but without paying Champagne money.

Real questions our customers ask.
What makes Alleria Extra Dry Falanghina Sparkling Wine from Campania stand out?
Alleria captures the true essence of Campania by combining fresh, lively bubbles with the distinct fruit character of the Falanghina grape. Crafted using the Charmat method, it delivers a pale straw colour, a delicate fruity nose, and a smooth, lightly savoury palate with gentle acidity—resulting in a refreshing but soft sparkling experience that's more nuanced than typical supermarket Prosecco.
How would you describe the taste and texture of this sparkling wine?
This Extra Dry sparkling wine offers bright orchard fruit flavours with a fine, crisp finish balanced by a subtle, savoury edge. Its bubbles are fresh and lively yet smooth, as the softer sweetness level creates a rounder mouthfeel than Brut styles. The result is an easy-drinking, harmonious wine with persistent freshness that avoids being sharp or overly dry.
Can you share an interesting fact about the Falanghina grape or Campania’s sparkling tradition?
Falanghina is an ancient grape variety native to Campania, prized for its ability to express the region’s mineral-rich soils and coastal influence. Over decades, producers like Cantine Mediterranee have refined sparkling styles using local varieties, shifting away from generic Italian bubbles to wines that pair exquisitely with traditional southern Italian cuisine and bring regional identity to the glass.
What are the best food matches and serving tips for Alleria Extra Dry Falanghina sparkling wine?
Serve chilled between 6–8°C to highlight its crisp acidity and fresh fruit. This sparkling wine pairs wonderfully with Italian antipasti such as cicchetti, fried seafood like calamari, light risottos, and seafood dishes seasoned with herbs and lemon. Its smooth, gently savoury profile also makes it an elegant choice for aperitifs and celebratory toasts where you want bubbles with personality but without the sharpness of a Brut.
