Def buy again ! (302 views) | | | Tasted by PeterGaylor on 5/7/2023 & rated 70 points: Pale yellow colour, ultra fine bubble. Slight floral note, in the mouth, it’s a bit “quick” everything is there but for such a short time. Everything end so quick, you feel as though you’re drinking soda water as you swallow. (825 views) | | | Tasted by MANROSE on 1/28/2023: Eher süss (1111 views) | | | Tasted by Boutip on 12/26/2021 & rated 89 points: Pale yellow color prosecco with some good carbonation. Aroma of light residual sugar with some grapes notes. (1880 views) | | | Tasted by ftorrisi on 9/14/2020 & rated 90 points: A commercial, high volume product that nonetheless yields a high quality juice with nice aromas (a hint of toast) fine bubbles and overall enjoyable experience. Always a rewarding choice. (2777 views) | | | Tasted by smenzies on 5/30/2020 & rated 92 points: A lovely Prosecco ripe for all occasions. (2597 views) | | | Tasted by GAT on 4/4/2020 & rated 88 points: Quite popular with the main stakeholder here... (2339 views) | | | Tasted by TannicBeast on 10/15/2018 & rated 90 points: 100% Glera. Nice soft petillage. Yellow apple, white flowers, fresh herbs, celery. Med (+) acidity balances out the sugar. Med (-) alcohol (11%). Nice, clean, slightly salty finish. Very good QPR. (1943 views) | | | Tasted by RajivAyyangar on 1/29/2018 & rated 82 points: MNB: Tank-method sparkling wines (Home (Noe st)): (blind)
Pale straw color.
Clean fruity nose - green apple and pear. A little bruised nature to the apple. Faint impression of lees - maybe cheese rind, but not autolysis.
15-20g RS. Medium plus acid. Fairly clean green-apple finish.
Mousse is moderately powerful - feels maybe 2-3 atm.
Given the mousse and the RS and acid, this feels like a pretty classic Prosecco, extra dry, $15.
Correct: Melvolti Prosecco superiore Extra dry $19 (3697 views) | | | Tasted by Patethel on 10/6/2017 & rated 75 points: Abricot and Apple taste with touch of honey (3483 views) | | | Tasted by Red Don on 6/9/2017 & rated 85 points: Restaurant purchase. Accompanied Breaded Veal Cutlet and Osso Bucco. Nice but unexceptional Prosecco. Seemed uninspiring and not particularly refreshing. (4086 views) | | | Tasted by Heynetty on 3/13/2017 & rated 85 points: A: Pale lemon gold with very light bubbles
N: PRIMARY_pears, apples (golden delicious). Medium (-) intensity
Youthful
P: Sugar present but not quite as sweet as off-dry. Pears, apples, some acetone and a little stale beer/hops taste
Acidity is medium (+), body is medium, alcohol is medium and finish is medium for me. Surprisingly long. Medium intensity.
C: Not exciting and nowhere near the refreshing nature of other valdobiadenne that i have had. The sugar in sparkling wine is just not a style to which i gravitate. Its not complex, the acidity helps wash the sugar away somewhat. Its very good quality and if you like this style $13 or $14 is a steal but i can't get on with it.

Nothing special, but definitely OK. (4411 views) | | | Tasted by TannicBeast on 12/12/2016 & rated 89 points: Very nice perlage. Aromas and flavors consistent with my 2015 TN. (3162 views) | | | Tasted by JDRFoster on 6/14/2016 & rated 87 points: Fresh and crisp. Dry by prosecco standards. Not particularly complex but easy to drink. (3245 views) | | | Tasted by Necowine on 5/23/2016 & rated 85 points: Grapey-er, with less bite than previous bottle. (2448 views) | | | Tasted by Vintage49 on 12/31/2015 & rated 90 points: Little nose but lovely and dry with a dry fruit taste. Excellent drinking now and with seafood and salads. (2752 views) | | | Tasted by Necowine on 7/24/2015 & rated 87 points: Spot-on prosecco! Lively citrus and pear, with just a bit of sweet and slightly musky grapeyness for background, cleansing acidity. Refreshing and crisp, and the price is right. (3506 views) | | | Tasted by TannicBeast on 4/26/2015 & rated 88 points: A very pleasant cocktail bubbly or aperitif to accompany a wide range of antipasti. Straw yellow in color, with a hint of green. Nice perlage. Medium nose of golden apples, pear and lemon. Dry, but with a hint of sugar which gives it some roundness and balances out the bracing acidity. The alcohol is medium (-). (3706 views) | | | Tasted by wineaficionado on 6/22/2014 & rated 89 points: Color: Pale yellow. Nose: Not very expressive. But apples are noticeable. Mouth: Apples and some pears, a hint of sugar cane in the finish without being sweet. There is a faint spicy aroma like cinnamon. Aroma of brioche, too. Fine "perlage". 11% alc. Excellent quality price ratio. Not necessarily only an apéro wine but compliments food, as well. I had it with sausage and patato salad and it was a perfect combination! (5615 views) | | | Tasted by FastTrack on 6/21/2014 & rated 87 points: we tried quite a few. up to now we ended with the Malvoltis:decent stuff for a fair price. nose of green apples. on the palate finely beaded, tasty as a prosecco should be, savory complexity; dry finish. (5078 views) | | | Tasted by TannicBeast on 1/19/2014 & rated 86 points: Good and pleasant as an aperitif. Easy, albeit a little simple and somewhat lacking in effervescence. I liked it better when I tasted it the first time, by itself. Drink now, not intended for ageing. (5181 views) | | | Tasted by The years of the grape on 1/17/2014 & rated 85 points: Simple but very enjoyable, fruity (lemon, green apple, fresh nectarine) and crispy. An everyday wine to drink with some light food or as an aperitif. (4096 views) | | | Tasted by lillo80 on 12/28/2013 & rated 89 points: The Carpenè Malvolti Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry appears in the glass with a pale lemon color. The nose has medium/high intensity, and is dominated by fruit aromas. I detect citrus notes (grapefruit), as well as a present pear impression, with more subtle hints of melon and quince. On the palate, high acidity, medium/light body and medium finish. I agree with other users that this wine has a tad of sweetness that I did not expect given the "Extra Dry" designation. This became really obvious to me, as I tasted this Prosecco side by side with a brut Champagne. (3750 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Glera Glera Grape
Glera is a white variety of grape of Slovenian origin, which was brought to village Prosecco (Slovene, Prosek) from Slovenian Kras. Glera was, until 2009, mostly referred to as Prosecco (Slovene, Prosekar).
Glera is a rather neutral grape variety which is mainly cultivated for use in sparkling Italian wine styles, frizzante or spumante, from the various Prosecco DOCG and DOC areas, although still wines also exist.
It is grown mainly in the Veneto region of Italy, traditionally in an area near Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the hills north of Treviso.Extra Dryhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweetness_of_wineItaly Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorVeneto Credit to WineCountry.it for this article
History and Tradition
The first human settlements of the lagoon and the surrounding areas maintained a simple social structure until the arrival of the Romans in the second century B.C. who divided the land into parcels of about 4,800 square meters and distributed those tracts among the locals to be cultivated.
The Romans founded the cities of Verona, Vicenza, and Padova, and named what was then the 10th imperial region, Venetia. Both the Veneto region and the province of Venice (Venezia in Italian) derive their names from the original Latin name of the area. The precursor of the city of Venice that we know today was founded during the Middle Ages when the locals escaped the barbaric invasions that followed the decline of the Roman Empire by taking refuge in coastal areas, islands, and the lagoon’s marshland.
The Venetian trade routes that connected Europe with Asia brought great wealth and general prosperity to the region. In many provinces, especially around Treviso, mulberry cultivation and the breeding of silkworms imported from China brought more affluence and prestige to local residents. With money pouring in from all quarters, Venice began its great building projects, chief among them creating the lagoon and canal infrastructure and systems still enjoyed and used today.
Between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th centuries following the opening of the Suez Canal, Venice once again became an important port city. Foreign investment financed the creation of the industrial infrastructure of Porto Marghera and freed the port of Venice from the burden of commercial navigation. Improved communications technology has allowed the rest of Italy and the world beyond closer ties to Venice, and has contributed to making Venice into an incomparable tourist destination.
The long period of power and splendor that blessed Venice encouraged the highest quality creations by local artisans. The ongoing request for jewelry, precious fabrics, lace, glass, wood and ceramic products by the noble Venetians shaped the development of typical stores along the narrow calli (streets) of Venice as well as factories both inland and on the lagoon islands. Up to today, popular tourist destinations are the Murano and Burano islands, famed for their glasswork and needlepoint products.
The Wines
Veneto is among the foremost wine-producing regions, both for quality and quantity. The region counts over 20 DOC zones and a variety of sub-categories, many of its wines, both dry and Spumanti, are internationally known and appreciated.
The three most well known DOCs are Bardolino, from the town with the same name and surrounding the shores of Garda Lake, Valpolicella, and Soave. Other noteworthy wines produced here are the white Bianco di Custoza, the excellent sparkling Prosecco, the Breganze, and the Amarone (a rich and powerful red from the Verona province). If you travel to the Treviso area, look for the little-known Clinton, a wine that is banned from distribution because it does not conform to the DOC standards, but is produced in limited quantities for local consumption.
The importance of winemaking in this region is underscored by the creation in 1885 of the very first Italian school for vine growing and oenology. In addition, Veneto was the first region to constitute the first strada del vino or "wine road". This first wine-touring road featured special road signs providing information on vines and the wines they were made into and joined the Valdobbiadene and Conegliano DOC zones crossing a series of hilly vineyards.
The most appreciated wines in the region come from the provinces of Treviso, Verona, Padova, Venice, and Vicenza. The area around Verona, with its temperate climate and hilly surrounding, is believed to have cultivated grapes since the Bronze Age. |
