What is Prosecco?

Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine from the Veneto and Friuli regions, made primarily from the Glera grape. Most Prosecco is produced using the Charmat (tank) method, which preserves fresh aromas of pear, green apple, citrus and white flowers. The highest-quality examples carry the DOCG designation (Conegliano–Valdobbiadene or Asolo), while DOC wines are excellent for everyday enjoyment.

How to choose Prosecco

• Sweetness: Brut (driest), Extra Dry (slightly sweeter), Dry (sweetest).
• Quality tiers: Prosecco DOC (everyday), Valdobbiadene/Asolo DOCG (more elegant), Rive (single-vineyard bottlings).
• Style: Spumante (more intense bubbles) vs. Frizzante (gentler sparkle).
• Cocktails: For an Aperol Spritz, choose Brut or Extra Dry.
