More about Prosecco Wine

What exactly is Prosecco?

Prosecco is a sparkling white wine from Italy, made primarily from the Glera grape. It’s loved for its light, crisp bubbles and fruity, floral flavours – making it a favourite for both celebrations and everyday enjoyment.

Is Prosecco a wine?

Yes, Prosecco is 100% a wine – specifically, a sparkling white wine. It’s part of the wider family of sparkling wines, just like Champagne and Cava.

Is Prosecco different from Champagne?

While both are sparkling wines, Prosecco is made in Italy using the Charmat method, which keeps it light and fruity. Champagne comes from France and is fermented in the bottle, giving it more yeasty, toasty notes. Prosecco is typically more affordable and approachable in style.

What does Prosecco taste like?

Most Proseccos are fresh and fruity, with flavours like green apple, pear, white peach, and citrus. Some also have delicate floral aromas. It's typically light-bodied and easy to drink.

Is Prosecco sweet or dry?

Prosecco can range in sweetness:

  • Brut – Dry and crisp
  • Extra Dry – Slightly sweeter (despite the name)
  • Dry – Sweeter still

We offer a variety, so you can choose the level of sweetness that suits your taste.

What foods to pair with Prosecco?

Prosecco pairs beautifully with light bites like antipasti, soft cheeses, seafood, and even salty snacks like crisps or prosciutto. It’s also a great match for brunch or dessert.

Prosecco is Italy's most beloved sparkling wine — produced in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of northeast Italy from the Glera grape, primarily using the tank method (Charmat method). This gives Prosecco its characteristic fresh, delicate bubbles and light, fruity style — white peach, pear, apple blossom and cream. Prosecco DOC is the entry level; Prosecco Superiore DOCG — from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills — represents a significant quality step up, with greater complexity and mineral character. Within Superiore, Cartizze is the Prosecco Grand Cru — a tiny 107-hectare zone. At Wines Direct we focus on Prosecco Superiore DOCG and Col Fondo (bottle-fermented, lightly cloudy Prosecco) from quality-focused producers.
