Astoria Butterfly Prosecco di Treviso Extra Dry NV is an easygoing, crowd-pleasing Prosecco that works just as well for a celebration as it does for a relaxed glass any day of the week. It’s nicely balanced, with a touch of residual sugar bringing out soft, fruity flavours, while fresh acidity keeps everything bright and refreshing.
Great as an aperitif, but also a good match for light bites such as prosciutto, seafood starters, or even a simple plate of antipasti, where its gentle fruit and crisp finish really come into their own.
This Prosecco is designed for immediate pleasure and won't improve with age. It's at its peak now, showing maximum freshness and vivacity. Over the next 6-12 months, the fruit will remain bright, but the bubbles may become less lively and the overall character less vibrant. Beyond a year, it will start to lose its charm as the delicate fruit fades and the effervescence diminishes.
Tasting Notes
AppearancePale straw yellow with persistent, fine bubbles and good mousse.
NoseFresh pear and green apple dominate, with white flowers and a whisper of citrus zest. Clean and inviting, with no heavy aromatics to complicate the message. The Extra Dry sweetness adds a subtle honeyed edge that makes everything more approachable.
PalateLight-bodied and effervescent, with the residual sugar nicely balanced by crisp acidity. Pear and apple carry through from the nose, joined by a touch of white peach. The bubbles feel gentle rather than aggressive, creating a smooth, easy-drinking texture that invites another sip.
FinishClean and refreshing, with a brief fruit echo and no lingering heaviness.
Overall impressionExactly what good everyday Prosecco should be: fresh, friendly, and ready to please.
Food Pairings
In the Veneto, this would be the natural aperitivo choice, served with cicchetti - small plates of baccalà mantecato, sardines in saor, or tramezzini. During summer evenings, locals pair it with prosciutto di San Daniele, aged Asiago cheese, and fresh figs. The wine's gentle sweetness also works beautifully with the region's seafood risottos, particularly risotto di go or baccalà alla vicentina, where its bubbles cut through rich, creamy textures.
We think this wine would go well with
Serve well-chilled at 6-8°C straight from the refrigerator. No need to decant - pour directly into flute glasses or, better yet, white wine glasses that allow the aromatics to develop. Open just before serving to preserve the bubbles, and keep the bottle chilled throughout service.
The vineyards lie in the Prosecco di Treviso zone, where rolling hills provide excellent drainage and sun exposure for the Glera grape. The soils are predominantly clay and limestone, which retain enough moisture for healthy vine growth while the elevation ensures good diurnal temperature variation. This climate preserves the natural acidity that makes Prosecco so refreshing, while the protected valley locations shield the vines from harsh winds.
Prosecco di Treviso DOC covers the broader Prosecco production area outside the premium Valdobbiadene and Conegliano zones. The rules require at least 85% Glera grape and mandate the Charmat method of sparkling wine production, where secondary fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks rather than bottles. This creates Prosecco's characteristic fresh, fruity style that's meant to be enjoyed young rather than aged.
