Short definition
A sparkling wine label term that, confusingly, indicates slightly sweeter than Brut, with 12–17 grams of sugar per liter.
This is the most misleading term on a sparkling wine label. Extra Dry sounds like it should be drier than Brut, but it is actually sweeter. Prosecco is often bottled as Extra Dry, which gives it a slightly softer, fruitier profile than a Brut version. If you want the driest sparkling wine possible, look for Brut Nature or Extra Brut, not Extra Dry.
