NV Emo Capodilista Prosecco Brut DOC, Veneto, Italy

The Conte Emo Capodilista family has owned La Montecchia estate since approximately 1110. That is not a typo. Over 900 years of continuous family ownership on the same hillside vineyards in the Colli Euganei — the Euganean Hills — near Padua in the Veneto, on volcanic soils within a regional natural park that has shaped their wines for nearly a millennium. The estate is celebrated throughout Italy for its bold native red blends and sweet Moscato from the Colli Euganei DOC appellation. They bring that same rigorous, boutique craftsmanship to their Prosecco Brut DOC — an estate-bottled sparkling wine that carries the weight and prestige of one of Italy’s oldest noble winemaking families in a glass that is bright, fresh, and effortlessly enjoyable at $18.99.

100% Glera from the hillside vineyards of La Montecchia, crafted within the Prosecco DOC appellation in the broader Veneto region. Bright straw-yellow in the glass with delicate emerald reflections and a persistent, fine perlage. The nose opens with an elegant bouquet of white florals, crisp green apple, and wild pear with subtle hints of fresh citrus peel. The palate is clean, vibrant, and beautifully balanced — refreshing acidity meeting a savory, mineral-driven backbone drawn from the estate’s distinctive volcanic hillside soils. Dry and crisp on the finish with an inviting fruity persistence. An estate Prosecco with 900 years of history behind every bubble.

About La Montecchia & the Colli Euganei

Azienda Agricola La Montecchia is the estate wine operation of the Conte Emo Capodilista family — one of Italy’s oldest continuously operating noble wine estates, with documented ownership of the Montecchia hill and its vineyards dating to approximately 1110. Located within the Parco Regionale dei Colli Euganei (Euganean Hills Regional Park) near Padua in the Veneto, the estate benefits from a unique microclimate and volcanic soils that impart a distinctive minerality and freshness to all of their wines. La Montecchia is primarily known for its expressive native red blends and sweet Moscato Giallo under the Colli Euganei DOC appellation — wines that have earned consistent recognition in Italian wine guides — and applies that same rigorous, artisanal approach to its Prosecco DOC, producing an estate-bottled sparkling wine that is genuinely singular in a category dominated by large-scale industrial production.

Food Pairing

The white florals, green apple, wild pear, fresh citrus, mineral acidity, and dry persistent finish of this estate Prosecco Brut make it one of the most naturally versatile and crowd-pleasing sparkling wines in the collection. Pairs beautifully with light canapés, seafood carpaccio, and grilled prawns — the mineral backbone and bright acidity are a precise match for delicate raw and grilled seafood. The floral aromatics and clean dry finish make it a wonderful companion for oysters, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto e melone, and any aperitivo spread where the wine should refresh rather than compete. Also excellent as a reception sparkling, a toast wine, and any occasion that calls for a bottle that is elegant, genuine, and approachable without sacrificing character. A natural for celebrations, casual entertaining, and gifting. Serve well-chilled at 40–44°F.

Occasion

This is your go-to estate Prosecco — the bottle for aperitivo, celebrations, casual entertaining, and gifting the sparkling wine lover who wants something more grounded and historically significant than a mass-market Prosecco at the same price point. Nine hundred years of family ownership. Volcanic hillside soils. Boutique estate production. At $18.99, one of the most genuinely distinguished and rewarding sparkling wines in the collection.
