Le Clivie Prosecco Millesimato Extra Dry 2025

Le Clivie Prosecco Treviso Millesimato (Vintage) Extra Dry is a top-notch 2025 Italian sparkling wine from the Veneto region, made entirely from Glera grapes and featuring an 11% alcohol content. While most Prosecco—about 90–95%—is non-vintage, vintage versions are crafted in smaller batches using only the best grapes from that year, which makes them rarer and usually pricier.

92/100 MainstreeT Score – This delicious vintage prosecco offers delicate floral notes and delightful aromas of white fruits. It is crisp, dry, and harmonious, and carries a pleasantly persistent fruity scent. This is a perfect aperitif, but also pairs wonderfully with starters, light pasta dishes, risotto, and mollusks. It also shines alongside sushi and sashimi. For a seasonal treat, enjoy it after dinner with fresh strawberries, or mix it into a mimosa or Aperol spritz. This is THE perfect patio poundin’ Prosecco!

The Île de France Brie Bites have a buttery, creamy flavor with fresh, milky notes and a subtle touch of hazelnut and mushroom. The texture is soft and smooth, making them easy to bite through. 

Try both with this delicious, easy-to-make dish—

Ingredients: 

250 g of Ile de France Brie(9 oz), cut into cubes

300 g pasta (10 ½ oz)

4 pieces thick sliced bacon

½ onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

10-15 basil leaves

Salt and pepper

Preparation:

2. Fry the bacon in a skillet over medium heat. Fry on both sides until brown and crispy.

3. Cool the bacon on a paper towel lined plate. Once the bacon is cool, break it into bite sized pieces.

4. Add the thinly sliced onion into the skillet with the bacon grease and sauté over medium high heat until the onions are caramelized. Add the garlic and toss for about 30 sec.

5. Add the cubed Brie into the skillet along with the reserved pasta water. Stir constantly until the cheese is melted and then add the cooked pasta to the mixture and toss to combine.
