Montelliana
Montelliana produces Prosecco from the Asolo region of Veneto in Northern Italy, where the Glera grape thrives in the foothills north of Venice. The winery's portfolio centers on Asolo Prosecco Superiore across three expressions: the 57 Asolo Prosecco Superiore, the Extra Dry, and the Extra Brut. Each represents the range of residual sugar and pressure that defines the category—from fruit-forward to bone-dry. Decanter, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, and Wine Enthusiast have all rated these wines. The 57 bottling leads the lineup in prestige assessment, followed by the Extra Dry and Extra Brut variants. Asolo Prosecco Superiore carries a higher production standard than the broader Prosecco designation, reflecting stricter yields and longer aging on the lees. Montelliana's focus on a single category and terroir reflects the precision required to distinguish quality within a category often defined by volume.
