The 2024 Montelvini Collezione Serenitatis Extra Brut captures a side of Prosecco that many wine lovers never fully experience. Sourced from the rolling hills of the Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG in Veneto, one of Italy’s most prized sparkling wine appellations, the wine reflects a landscape shaped by steep vineyards, cooling alpine influences, and generations of meticulous viticulture. The Serena family has guided Montelvini for more than a century, helping elevate Asolo into one of the most respected expressions of Glera. Here, freshness is not simply a stylistic choice but a direct reflection of place, where hillside vineyards preserve energy, minerality, and aromatic precision even in warmer vintages. What immediately sets the Extra Brut apart is its remarkable sense of clarity. The restrained dosage allows the character of the fruit to emerge with uncommon purity, revealing layers of green apple, citrus zest, white flowers, and delicate orchard fruit carried by a fine, persistent stream of bubbles. There is a brightness to the wine that feels almost crystalline, with every note sharpened by the natural tension and vitality that define great Asolo Prosecco. Rather than relying on sweetness, the wine draws its appeal from precision, freshness, and balance, creating a sparkling wine that feels both invigorating and deeply refined. The beauty of the 2024 Collezione Serenitatis lies in the way it transforms simplicity into elegance. Each sip delivers vibrant fruit, subtle floral aromatics, and a gentle mineral thread that lingers long after the palate clears. The mousse remains energetic yet graceful, enhancing the wine’s sense of movement and lift without overwhelming its delicacy. This is Prosecco viewed through a more serious lens, one that highlights the sophistication possible within the category when exceptional vineyards, careful winemaking, and the distinctive character of Asolo come together. The result is a sparkling wine of remarkable charm and precision, equally suited to celebration, fine cuisine, or the simple pleasure of watching an evening unfold with a glass in hand.
