Le Vigne di Alice Frizzante Tajad NV

Before Glera took over the hills north of Treviso, the house fizz in local osterie was a mix: Glera cut with savoury Verdiso and rustic Boschera. Tajad is Le Vigne di Alice's modern take on that old wine. Cinzia Canzian founded the estate in 2004 and named it after her grandmother, whose tavern poured wines like this one. Before that she spent almost two decades in Prosecco, at her husband's winery and working for the Prosecco consortium, so she knows the category's rules well enough to step around them. Her vineyards are in the northern part of Conegliano–Valdobbiadene near Vittorio Veneto, at the foot of the Dolomites. The soils there are lean, chalky and rocky, left behind by glaciers, and the vines are farmed organically, with no herbicides or pesticides, hand weeding and trees growing among the plots. The bubbles come from the tank (Charmat) method, not the Champagne method, so think freshness rather than brioche. "Tajad" is local dialect for a clean, precise cut, which is a good promise for a dry, light frizzante. It's Prosecco-country fizz for people who think they don't like Prosecco.

More about

Prosecco can sometimes be dismissed as a cheap mimosa mixer and often overlooked as a serious sparkling wine. Le Vigne di Alice is an artisanal grower producer and one of these examples. Most of the range, Tajad included, is made by the Charmat (tank) method, alongside col fondo and ancestrale wines fermented in the bottle and two metodo classico cuvées; all of them embody the terroir and spirit of the vineyards in which they are planted.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Fritto misto or fried anchovies and sardines, a creamy risotto (try asparagus or radicchio), or simply warm homemade bread with good olive oil. It also works as an aperitivo with salty cicchetti like baccalà mantecato on grilled polenta.

Tasting Profile

Expect a dry, light frizzante in the old Treviso-hills style: green apple, pear and white flowers, with Verdiso adding a savoury, almond-tinged edge and a chalky minerality. Tank fermentation keeps the gentle bubbles fresh rather than bready, and bright acidity leads to a clean, crisp finish. Think of a drier, more savoury take on Prosecco.
