It isn’t reserved just for celebrations: Because Prosecco isn’t associated with extravagance, it can be enjoyed whenever you feel like it. Whether you serve it at a party with your nearest and dearest, or a glass on you own in the evening – it’s the perfect anytime treat. Prosecco. The reasonably priced fizz we all know and love. It’s light, refreshing and looks just as glamorous as champagne in a flute. What’s not to like? It appeals to the younger market: The lower price tag and light flavour make Prosecco an ideal choice for those who are new to sparkling wine and the younger generation who would have previously relied on cheap spirits. It’s also very easy to find in bars and restaurants. With a very pale, delicate colour, it has a gentle, floral, and appley aromas, much lighter and fresher in style than Cava, and less intense than most Champagnes. On the palate, it has a delicate, apple blossom and ripe pear character, with hints of acacia honey, but primarily a fresh acidity, and lively delicacy.
Frizzante - has less bubbles and they don't last for long after serving due to the short second fermentation process. It's still very popular, making up around 39% of all production. The lower alcohol level is one of the factors in its recent rise to fame, as wine drinkers look for slightly lighter, yet still flavoursome styles. A Serve this wine chilled (7-10°C) to ensure that you get the best characteristics out of the Prosecco. A Prosecco is a lighter, fruitier sparkling wine with a wide appeal due to the differences in the production methods of the two beverages. Champagne undergoes a longer secondary fermentation process and tends to be more of an acquired taste with less fruity, more toasty, biscuit flavour tones.Prosecco is a lively, dry sparkling wine, with relatively low alcohol at 11%, which hit the UK market about 8 years ago – partly championed by M&S, who first made the general wine drinking public aware of its charm, accessibility and affordability. Prosecco is a light, fresh, fragrant sparkling wine, generally dry in style. It is generally slightly lower in alcohol than many sparkling wines, averaging about 11%. Historically, the region has always had a strong tradition of producing sparkling wines – it’s in the north of Italy, they don’t get as much heat as many regions, and the climate and soil is well suited to these grapes and this style of wine making.
The last few years have seen major changes, and the success of Prosecco on the international market has hit the region, like a whirlwind. Until 2010, Prosecco was named after the grape variety from which it is made, and was produced in a limited DOC area. Spumante - this is the most bubbly and iconic one with a really persistent fizz. It is also the most popular in terms of production - 60% of all Prosecco out there is Spumante. null Amazing Prosecco for the money Great taste and superb value for the price. Fast and very safe delivery

However, Prosecco, the grape, was also being grown in other countries, such as Australia and Brazil, so this, in combination with the increase in sales and international success, resulted in new laws and regulations regarding production. A new area, called ‘Prosecco’ was created, and vineyard area increased by 25%. The original designated area was made a DOCG, and that is where the top quality Prosecco now comes from. The broader, wider DOC area is flatter, and the yields are higher, with many new plantings. This means that only wines grown in these areas are allowed to be labelled Prosecco.
Prosecco comes from the Veneto and the Friuli-Giulia-Venezia wine regions of north eastern Italy. It’s the name of the region, but also the informal name of the grape from which the wine is made, the Glera. All Prosecco must be made from a minimum 85% of this grape, with the other ones permitted being local grapes and also the international sparkling stars Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir (called Pinot Nero).
Which Variety of Prosecco Will I Like Most?
Prosecco is the perfect aperitif – and the perfect wine for lunchtime entertaining and picnics, due to its lower alcohol level. At 11% it is 1.5% lighter than Champagne, and has a fresher, more delicate style.
Mini Prosecco bottles aren't really a break through in the world of sparkling wine, but there are certainly a few things about our mini Prosecco bottles that set them ahead of our competitors. Our Prosecco is a multi award winner and these awards have been presented at some of the most prestigious competitions in the wine industry. These awards have come from the International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC), the International Wine Challenge (IWC) and the Decanter World Wine Awards. The award recipients are decided following blind wine tastings by some of the wine industry’s most respected and experienced professional sommeliers. These highly regarded judges have deemed our Prosecco to be amongst the very best in a very competitive market and to receive accreditation at such a high level is a major achievement of which we are very proud. It’s a very encouraging result after all those hundreds of hours of research and production work carried out by our team. The Price: There’s no denying we like to get a bargain, however, we don’t like to sacrifice on quality. The lower price point of Prosecco makes it accessible to everyone. It’s an easy solution when you wat to celebrate with friends and family but you don’t want to spend a fortune on Champagne. It protects against Diabetes: A study in Denmark surveyed over 70,000 people and found that seven or more glasses of wine per week lowered the risk of diabetes by 25 to 30 per cent (don't worry, that includes the one with sparkles too).Originally the area also produced still wines, but now the entire production is focussed on Prosecco, and there are over 185 wineries in the region. A Let’s be clear here, Prosecco is most certainly not a “cheap alternative” to Champagne. It’s an entirely different wine which is not as costly to produce as Champagne. It’s as simple as that. If you are shopping for Prosecco regularly you’ll have probably noticed 'Spumante', 'Frizzante' or 'Extra Brut' terms next to the brand's name. Knowing the true meaning of these can help you choose the best bottle to suit your taste preferences.
