Effortlessly elegant and quietly complex, the 2023 R.D.O. Ponente Extra Dry captures the very soul of Ogliano’s famed hillsides. Pale gold in colour with an endlessly fine bead, it opens with bright notes of lime blossom, wisteria and acacia, layered with orchard fruits, pear, apple and bergamot and a touch of pink grapefruit zest. The palate is vibrant yet supple, a shimmering interplay of ripe citrus and cool minerality wrapped in a delicate mousse. A whisper of salinity lends tension and length, leading to a finish that lingers like sunlight on marble, poised, pure and effortlessly refined.

For when: the day deserves sparkle and the company’s too good to rush.
Pairs with: fresh oysters, sushi, or tempura vegetables.
If this wine were a mood, it’d be that golden hour in Venice, tranquil, glowing, and timelessly beautiful.

Masottina’s R.D.O. Ponente is drawn from the steep morainic slopes of Ogliano, a unique glacial terroir where the Dal Bianco family’s meticulous, sustainable viticulture meets the cool winds of the Veneto. Crafted with precision and patience, this Prosecco embodies the pinnacle of the region’s artistry, a wine of grace, purity, and quiet grandeur from one of the most distinguished crus in Conegliano Valdobbiadene.
