La Marca Prosecco Icon Superiore DOCG is a premium, elevated sparkling white wine that showcases the highest classification tier in the Prosecco region of Italy. Crafted from handpicked Glera grapes grown on the strict, sun-drenched hillside vineyards of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, this expression delivers a more refined and complex profile than the standard La Marca blue label. It typically registers an 11% Alcohol by Volume (ABV) and is styled at an Extra Dry sweetness level.
Flavor Profile & Tasting Notes
- Aromas: Delicate scents of white flowers, stone fruits, and honeysuckle blossom fill the glass.
- Palate: Balanced, crisp acidity frames soft, creamy textures and a lively effervescence.
- Flavor Notes: Dominant hints of green apple, ripe pear, fresh citrus, and juicy nectarine.
- Finish: Light and refreshing with subtle undertones of clean minerality.
The DOCG Difference
While standard Prosecco carries the DOC designation, the DOCG status (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) represents the highest quality tier in Italian wine law. This label guarantees that the grapes are grown entirely within the prestigious, steep hillsides of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene zone. Production rules are strictly regulated, resulting in lower yields, more concentrated flavors, and elevated complexity.
Best Serving & Food Pairings
- Serving Temperature: Keep it thoroughly chilled between 46°F and 50°F (8°C–10°C).
- Glassware: Enjoy it in standard sparkling flutes or narrow white wine glasses to trap the delicate aromas.
- Pairing Options: Pairs exceptionally well with fresh seafood appetizers, mild cheeses, light poultry dishes, or fresh fruit desserts.
