Wines like Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore
Prosecco from the steep DOCG hillsides between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene — the qualitative heart of the category. Below: what to try next, grouped by the direction you want to travel.
Refine
What do you like about Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore?
Optional — the results below already work without it. But “I like Malbec” is at least four different preferences wearing one name, and saying which one you mean changes the answer substantially. Only qualities this wine actually has are offered.
What these words mean
- The citrus and orchard fruit
- Lemon, lime, green apple, pear. The signature of a cool-climate white — quieter and less perfumed than tropical fruit, and a different thing from the acidity it usually travels with.
- The tropical fruit
- Passionfruit, mango, pineapple, guava. It comes from riper fruit and warmer sites, and it is the difference between Marlborough and Sancerre in the same grape.
- The bubbles
- Carbonation, from a light prickle to a full sparkling mousse.
- That it is not oaky
- No barrel character — just the fruit and the acidity. Chablis and Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc are the reference points.
- The floral character
- Rose, violet, elderflower, orange blossom.
- How aromatic it is
- Some grapes announce themselves from across the room — Gewürztraminer, Muscat, Sauvignon Blanc. Others are far quieter, and quiet is not the same as dull.
Looking for something keeping the citrus and green-apple character, the bubbles and the tropical, exotic fruit, while moving away from too fizzy.
- You said you like the bubbles and that it is too fizzy. Both are about carbonation, so they pull the same axis in opposite directions — the dislike is applied and the like is set aside.
