Prosecco Le Contesse Page 1 of 1

Prosecco is one of the most popular sparkling wines in the world. It comes from the Veneto region in northeastern Italy and is primarily made from the Glera grape variety. It is characterized by its fresh, fruity flavor, fine bubbles, and pleasant lightness, making it ideal for celebrations as well as everyday occasions. A modern favorite style is Prosecco Rosé, which brings a delicate pink color and a lightly fruity character.

Types of Prosecco

Prosecco can be produced in various styles:

Frizzante – lightly sparkling prosecco, light and fresh.
Spumante – fully sparkling prosecco with more pronounced bubbles.
Still Prosecco – a rarer form, without bubbles.

According to sugar content, we distinguish prosecco Brut, Extra Brut, Extra Dry, and Dry – the most popular are the drier styles with citrus-fruity notes.

Quality Labels

Prosecco DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) – basic prosecco from the Veneto region.

How to Enjoy Prosecco

Prosecco is served chilled (6–8 °C) in flute glasses. It pairs wonderfully as an aperitif, with light dishes, salads, fish, and also in mixed cocktails – the most famous being Aperol Spritz.
