The £6.49 Sparkle That Feels Luxe: Lidl Millesimato Extra Dry Prosecco Review

Lidl's Millesimato Extra Dry Prosecco is just £6.49 and it stands out as a well priced sparkling wine that has a delicate flavour, elegant aroma and a satisfying sweetness to it. Whether you're pouring it for a light dinner or sharing the bottle with friends, this prosecco strikes strikes a balance between both affordability and enjoyment.

Appearance and Aroma

From the first pour, the prosecco makes a great impression. It has a very pale pink colour and is clear and elegant with a level of translucency that reflects its light and delicate character. The prosecco has an inviting effervescence that adds a celebratory touch to even a casual setting.

The aroma is one of the wine's most strongest qualities. It has bold notes of strawberry and light floral hints rise from the glass immediately once opened. It is strong enough that the scent carries across the room. While you may expect a tertiary complexity to it; this prosecco leans more towards freshness and fruitiness which is to be expected of a rosé prosecco and at this price. Still, it is vibrant and expressive giving you more than you'd expect.

Taste and Texture

Despite being labelled 'Extra Dry' – the prosecco is not particularly dry on the palate. In fact, it is more noticeably sweet than dry though in a more balanced way. There is very little acidity which makes it an easy drink for those who prefer their bubbles without sharpness.

Flavour-wise, the prosecco gives exactly what the aroma suggests fresh strawberry, a touch of green apple and subtle floral undertones. There is also smoothness and clarity to the flavour, though it's not deep or with any earthy complexity which is understandable given the clean translucent body of the prosecco.

The mouthfeel of the prosecco is creamy and light. Though the finish is particularly enjoyable- it is not astringent or drying. It leaves behind a soft coating of the fruity flavour as its aftertaste lingering pleasantly.

Conclusion

For £6.49, the Lidl Millesimato Extra Dry Prosecco is probably one of the best wines sold at Lidl. Though, it may not satisfy those looking for a brut-style, bone-dry prosecco with a complex depth. For casual drinking it is great as it is fresh, fruity and full of charm.
