Prosecco Superiore di Valdobbiadene is a different beast from the everyday stuff, and Astoria's Millesimato — a single-vintage expression rather than a blended NV — is a neat illustration of why. The Glera grape grown on the steep, UNESCO-listed hillsides around Valdobbiadene produces something genuinely aromatic and lively: white peach, green apple, a whisper of wisteria, and that characteristic clean, slightly almond-tinged finish that sets the Superiore DOCG apart from its Prosecco DOC cousins. In a magnum, the slower, gentler evolution of the bubbles means it arrives at the table in particularly fine form — great for a crowd who actually want to taste their fizz, not just toast with it.
