What is prosecco, exactly?

Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine, made mainly from the Glera grape in the northeast of Italy. Most of it gets its bubbles from a tank method, where the second fermentation happens in a large sealed tank rather than in each bottle.

That method keeps the fruit fresh and the price of making it modest. The result is usually light, with notes of green apple, pear, white flowers and citrus, and less of the toasty, bready character you find in Champagne.

The word on the label matters. Real prosecco comes from designated areas in Italy. A bottle simply called sparkling wine could come from anywhere and be made from other grapes.

How do you read a prosecco label?

The sweetness word is the most useful thing on the front. Brut is the driest of the common styles, extra dry is slightly softer despite the name, and dry is noticeably sweeter. If you like a crisp glass, start with brut. If you like something rounder with fruit, extra dry is a good middle.

You will also see spumante, which means fully sparkling, and frizzante, which means gently sparkling with finer, softer bubbles. Frizzante bottles often have a different closure, sometimes a string-tied cork or a crown cap.

Labels may also carry the words DOC or DOCG, which are Italian quality designations tied to where the grapes grew. They tell you about origin and rules, not about whether you will personally like the wine.

Prosecco, Champagne or other sparkling wine: which one?

Prosecco suits brunch, casual gatherings, toasts and cocktails. It is lively and easy to drink, and it does not ask you to think much about it.

Champagne is made in the Champagne region of France with a second fermentation in the bottle, which gives it a richer, more layered style. We carry Champagne too, including Nicolas Feuillatt Reserve Brut Champagne on the sparkling shelf, if you want to step up for an anniversary or a milestone.

When you are unsure, tell us the occasion and the number of guests. We can point you to a bottle that fits the moment, and whether that is prosecco or something else is your call.

How do you serve prosecco?

Serve it cold, around 40 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. A couple of hours in the fridge, or about thirty minutes in a bucket of ice and water, will do it.

Hold the bottle at an angle and turn the bottle, not the cork, so it opens with a sigh rather than a pop. A tulip or white wine glass shows off the aroma better than a wide, shallow coupe.

Once opened, prosecco loses its fizz faster than many people expect. A sparkling wine stopper helps for a day, but it is best finished the day you open it.

What can you mix with prosecco?

The classic is a spritz: prosecco, a bitter or fruity liqueur, and a splash of soda over ice. A mimosa uses equal parts prosecco and orange juice, though many people lean toward more prosecco.

You can also add a splash of fruit liqueur from our liqueur section for a quick cocktail, or use mixers such as soda water for a lighter spritz.
