Riccadonna is an Italian wine producer based in Piedmont, specializing in sparkling wines. The company produces Prosecco DOC, which represents an interesting geographic designation since Prosecco production traditionally centers in the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions rather than Piedmont. This positioning reflects the broader expansion of Prosecco production within approved DOC boundaries.
Prosecco DOC allows production across a wide geographic area in northeastern Italy, with wines made primarily from the Glera grape variety. The DOC designation permits various styles including Extra Dry, which typically contains 12-17 grams of residual sugar per liter, creating a lightly sweet profile that balances Glera's natural acidity. The grape produces wines with characteristic notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, along with floral undertones.
Riccadonna's current range includes Prosecco Extra Dry made from Glera grapes, offered in convenient mini bottle formats. This packaging approach caters to portion control and individual serving preferences, making the sparkling wine accessible for various consumption occasions.
