The Extra Dry expression from Col Vetoraz's elevated hilltop estate. Off-dry with gentle floral sweetness; the altitude of the estate prevents the Extra Dry from tipping into overripe territory, maintaining freshness.

Mixed cured meats (salumi misti)

Fried zucchini flowers with ricotta

History
The Extra Dry was added to the Col Vetoraz range a few years after founding, responding to the category's dominance in Italian aperitivo culture. As with the Brut, the estate's altitude at Santo Stefano gives the Extra Dry a lift of freshness unusual in the style.
- 1995 — Col Vetoraz adds Extra Dry to the range alongside the Brut and Cartizze.
