Cà di Rajo, Prosecco Millesimato Extra Dry Superiore DOCG Valdobbiadene

Winner of the Decanter blind tasting panel for best Prosecco Superiore in 2020, this wine is in the forefront of Prosecco “premiumization.” From the prime hilly, low-yielding growing areas of the “Superiore DOCG” zone, the fruit for this wine is highly concentrated, and the “Extra Dry” style—the gold standard in Prosecco—allows the fruit to shine through. With the vintage-designation (“millesimato”), Cà di Rajo is making a bold assertion of freshness in a category dominated by non-vintage wines. The wine’s outstanding freshness and creamy, soft texture come from Charmat vinification over a very long period—double the time required by the DOCG.
