Prosecco DOC

What makes Prosecco DOC distinctive

Prosecco DOC represents the most widespread and approachable style of prosecco. It is produced in a precisely defined area of northern Italy, dominated by the Glera grape. The result is a wine with a fresh, light and fruity character, fine bubbles and notes of white fruit, citrus and flowers.

Compared to the more premium Prosecco DOCG, Prosecco DOC feels more straightforward and informal. For a broader view of the different styles, you can also explore the Prosecco category.

Styles and production of Prosecco DOC

Prosecco DOC is most commonly produced using the Charmat method, which highlights its freshness and aromatics. It comes in several styles – from Brut to Dry, each offering a different level of sweetness and fruit expression.

Within the region, Treviso is often mentioned for its slightly more pronounced fruit profile. A more detailed look at this origin can be found in the Prosecco Treviso category.

Serving and recommendations

Prosecco DOC is an excellent choice as an aperitif, and it pairs well with lighter dishes or seafood. Serve well-chilled to highlight its freshness and delicate bubbles.

If you enjoy sparkling wines with a clean and refreshing profile, Prosecco DOC is a very pleasant option.
