And so on the labels of prosecco wine you can find the following terms:

  • brut nature - means sparkling wine most dry;
  • extra brut - a refreshing sparkling wine, still very dry;
  • brut - is a dry sparkling wine;
  • extra dry, extra sec, extra seco - are medium sparkling wine due to their dryness;
  • dry, sec, seco - a sparkling wine with a perceptible, light sweetness;
  • demi sec, semi seco - a semi-dry sparkling wine;
  • doux, sweet, dulce - sweet sparkling wine.

Prosecco sparkling wine has delicate wines marked - dry - at the bottom of the scale. In the dry version, bottles will have extra dry designations, and the most dry brut. Guided by these designations, we will easily recognize the types of prosecco that resonate with our taste. The price of prosecco does not change depending on the designation (as is sometimes the case with the designation of the degree of maturity of the wine, e.g. crianza, reserva, gran reserva - which usually change the price level depending on the designation).

It is worth knowing that this beverage is one of the least caloric alcohols - there are only 75 calories in 100 grams. In comparison, vodka is 230 calories.

Prosecco - What Is the Best Prosecco?

Prosecco pricing does not fluctuate based on designation (unlike classifications such as Crianza, Reserva, or Gran Reserva in other wines, where price often varies). Prosecco pricing usually depends on the region it comes from or the brand, which reflects the vineyard's quality. The best Prosecco comes with a DOC or DOCG label, which typically guarantees higher quality and, consequently, a higher price. Prosecco Superiore DOCG is made exclusively from grapes grown on the hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, and near Asolo. This Prosecco is more expensive, as this origin is considered a mark of the finest quality. Prosecco DOC, on the other hand, comes from the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. A unique experience for enthusiasts is the still white wine known as Prosecco Tranquillo, which also hails from Valdobbiadene.

The best Prosecco, the most prestigious Prosecco wines, come from Conegliano Valdobbiadene. This region holds the highest status in the Italian classification system. All Prosecco from this area bear the DOCG label, and while the value of such labels is often debated in Italy, the differences between Prosecco DOC and DOCG are significant. In Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, the conditions for growing Glera grapes—the key ingredient in Prosecco—are ideal: higher altitude and better daily temperature variations. The grapes thrive on steep, well-sunlit slopes. The soil is also superior compared to the DOC zone, being limestone-rich near Valdobbiadene and heavier marl near Conegliano. For those seeking distinctive flavors, the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region boasts 43 individual subzones known as Rive. These areas are subject to stricter production rules, including hand-harvesting and limited yield; wines from these zones are always sold with vintage labels.

The most exclusive and highly sought-after Prosecco, referred to as "Grand Cru Prosecco," is produced from the Cartizze hill in Valdobbiadene. On this hill, covering 107 hectares, 140 vintners cultivate the finest Prosecco in the world. To highlight the significance of this area, in 2015, a hectare of vineyard here was priced at nearly 2 million euros. This exceptional Prosecco is labeled as "Superiore di Cartizze." Interestingly, the label of this luxurious wine does not actually contain the word "Prosecco."

Another specialty of the Valdobbiadene region is Prosecco Col Fondo, produced in the Conegliano area. This wine is often unfiltered and cloudy, as winemakers leave the lees from the secondary fermentation in the bottle. These sediments add more complexity and flavor to the Prosecco. With this method, the wine develops aromas like fresh bread crust and peach flesh. Over time, the fruity flavors evolve into more complex, dry notes with a pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste.

Prosecco sparkling wine is made from the Glera strain.

Prosecco sparkling wine is made from the Glera grape strain (although the name prosecco used to function and is now making a comeback). Grapes of the glera grape strain are characterized by a white skin, and its origin is to be found in Slavic soils. This white grape variety was brought from the Kras to Italy. The content of the glera strain in prosecco wines should be in proportions of min. 85%. The remaining 15% can be native Italian grape varieties such as the lesser-known bianachetta, verdiso, perera or glera lungia, or the internationally known pinot grigio or even chardonnay.

Bubbles in prosecco wines

Bubbles in prosecco wines are created somewhat differently than in champagne or cava. After the first fermentation, let's call it a simple fermentation, one that every sparkling wine (including champagne) undergoes, a second fermentation is carried out in pressurized steel tanks to induce bubbles. In the case of Spanish cava and French champagne, it is carried out after the product has already been bottled. The secondary fermentation method used to produce Italian prosecco sparkling wine is called the Charmat-Martinotti method, after the inventor of the method. The product can be gently sparkling - known as frizzante, or strongly sparkling - spumante.

The homeland is Italy, mainly the northeastern regions. Prosecco DOC is the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. The best prosecco sparkling wines so-called gems come from Prosecco DOCG, Superiore Valdobbiadene, Asolo and Conegliano Valdobbiadene. An interesting feature for seekers of special sensations is prosecco without bubbles, the so-called tranquillo (calm white wine), which comes precisely from Valdobbiadene.

What to serve prosecco sparkling wine with? How to drink it.

What should prosecco sparkling wine be served with? It's best to follow a similar rule as with white wines. Lightly sparkling prosecco can be perfect as an aperitif before dinner or lunch. We can serve it with seafood, salads, non-fatty fish and sushi - it will enhance the taste of these dishes very nicely. This Italian light wine also goes perfectly with local cuisine. For seafood, it is advisable to serve a dry beverage, and for salads a sparkling white wine with more acidity. It will also work well as an accompaniment to Italian dishes with mushrooms, cheese or white asparagus. In addition, the delicate prosecco sparkling wine will pair perfectly with light dishes.

Prosecco extra drysparkling wine goes exceptionally well with the taste of fruity (especially more sour in taste) desserts. Dry prosecco sparkling wine, as well as more refined sparkling liquors, very much enjoy the company of strawberries (great as an aperitif). Prosecco wines should be served chilled, and the optimal temperature of the liquor is 6-8 degrees Celsius. Serve in tall, narrow glasses. Filling is also important. Glasses should be filled to the point of collapse - then you will get the most intense aroma. Why is it best to serve sparkling wine in narrow glasses? The bubbles last longer in narrow glasses, in addition, the aromas are concentrated and will reach the senses all night, opening up a bouquet of aromas.

What we like about prosecco wines is that they can create very good and well-known drinks. Of course, one of the most iconic is the Aperol spritz. This is an Italian cocktail based on prosecco wine, liqueur and soda water. It is best served on ice cubes. Its taste has delighted the palates of people around the world for many years, and glasses filled with this drink can be found in many restaurants and pubs. Among the well-known drinks, in addition to the Aperol Spritz, is the famous Italian peach-based bellini. Other well-known drinks include the Hugo Spritz (accompanied by ice cubes) Martini Fiero, or Limoncello. An interesting and simple drink is also Mimosa, based on orange juice, full of ice cubes and with the addition of an orange slice - for decoration.

How to store prosecco sparkling wine?

Prosecco sparkling wine should not be stored for a long time. Aging is the greatest asset of prosecco wine, so let's drink it young. It is worth adding that in order for cava - Spanish sparkling wine to have the term "cava" on the label, it must mature in the bottle for a minimum of 9 months. "Licensed" champagne must linger in the bottle even longer - at least 15 months. All this matters for the final price of a bottle of these sparkling wines. Sparkling prosecco has a price that depends on a number of factors, but it is certainly lower than champagnes (although you can find bottles of champagnes for up to PLN 200), mainly due to the fact that Italian sparkling wine has a cheaper production method.

What to drink instead of prosecco wine?

If we are fans of the taste of prosecco wine, it will be difficult to find a sparkling wine of similar character. Looking for a slightly different style to prosecco spumante , it is worth trying to fill glasses with Spanish cava. Champagne is already much less fruity, and the taste is often more dry, but thanks to its acidity it goes well with seafood. If in sparkling wine we are looking for sweet fruits, it is better to choose a different type than champagne, for which flavors of less ripe and raw fruits are typical . Vintage champagnes are already dominated by flavors and aromas typically yeasty, samki of nuts, pastries or fresh bread.
