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. Sparkling Rose from this region is generally dry, and pale in colour, with a delicate strawberry and rosehip character. What Does Prosecco Go With? 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. A Premier Estates Prosecco is made in North Eastern Italy, specifically in the town of Vazzola which is in the heart of the Veneto region. This particularly beautiful part of Italy has many amazing vineyards which are famous for producing truly wonderful grapes. The varying terrain means that the grapes have quite different characteristics depending upon the geographical height at which they were grown.
Extra-Dry - counter-intuitively, this is less dry than Dry! It contains between 12-17 grams of residual sugar per litre. Very popular and classic with balanced acidity, it’s both fruity and floral. 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. Tranquillo - the rarest 1% variety because it has no bubbles at all. It is still produced from Glera grapes and in Veneto region and is hard to find outside Italy. Dry - funnily enough, it's the least dry variety here! It can contain up to 32 grams of sugar residue per litre. This type of Prosecco is very peachy and mellow, but also much harder to find.
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. A Serve this wine chilled (7-10°C) to ensure that you get the best characteristics out of the Prosecco. 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. 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. 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).

WinesDirect Guide: All you need to know about Prosecco
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? 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. Alessa Good Quality and Delicious Prosecco This is very good quality Prosecco. It is delicious and tastes like honey. I would definitely buy this again.
A Premier Estates Prosecco is made using Glera or “Prosecco” grapes exclusively. We choose not to blend our grapes with other varieties as this has a tendency to result in a different quality of wine year on year. It has less calories: For those dieters among us, who deprive yourselves and reserve alcohol for ‘cheat days’, you can hold your hands up and rejoice. A flute of Prosecco contains just 80 calories or around 60 calories less than a glass of wine. See, all things enjoyed in moderation! Prosecco is made by the Charmat method, which means the secondary fermentation, which produces the bubbles is done in a sealed tank, before bottling, rather than in the bottle itself, which is the traditional champagne method. Apart from a different style, with lighter, slightly larger bubbles, it is also a much cheaper way of producing sparkling wine. 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).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.
