Freixenet Extra Dry Prosecco Italy Sparkling Wine

This is an Italian prosecco under the Freixenet name, and shoppers currently rate it 4.65 across 78 ratings.

The grape is the part with real documentation behind it. Glera is the white grape behind Prosecco, and the Prosecco consortium lists it as the traditional variety, with a short list of other permitted grapes allowed up to 15 percent of the total. Whatever else varies bottle to bottle, a wine carrying the prosecco name is built mainly on Glera.

The consortium's description of the category, not ours, is floral and fruity character, a fresh taste and a straw yellow color, with most bottles sparkling or semi-sparkling. It also says the labeled sweetness words, running from Brut Nature through Demi-sec, tell you how dry the wine is. The Extra Dry in this wine's own name is a sweetness label of exactly that kind.

We have no producer description for this bottle, so the consortium's category description does the explaining for now. The wine turned up in five of the stores we watch, priced $14.99 to $18.99 depending on the store. The most recent of those checks ran on August 12, 2026.

Our call: the case for it is disclosure, with the sweetness level printed right in the name rather than left for the shelf, backed by a pool of shopper scores large enough that the average is not based on just a few ratings. Pass if shopper ratings are your main guide; that average falls below the middle of the rated wines in our coverage, and with no producer account here, the consortium's category description is all the detail on offer.
