Prosecco Wine for Delivery or Pickup
The Instacart guide to Prosecco products
With roots dating from ancient Italy, Prosecco is a crisp, refreshing, and fizzy sparkling wine that makes a splash for everything from a big celebration to an intimate dinner party. Today, fruity, floral, and festive Prosecco is available at a variety of price points and flavor profiles.Â
While its bubbles are reminiscent of Champagne, Prosecco is produced from different kinds of grapes and a distinctive winemaking method. Prosecco grapes, called Glera, are white grapes from the northern region of Italy. The unique geography and microclimate of this region beget the characteristic sweet, fruity flavor of Prosecco. The grapes are grown in a unique method using historic methods of vine-training that result in extremely aromatic fruits that burst with hints of pear, apple, peaches, and flowers.Â
Prosecco is on the sweeter end of sparkling wines, making it an ideal component of a festive mimosa and the key ingredient in the classic bellini. Prosecco can be paired with many foods and is a wonderful complement to cured meats, cheeses, and seafood.
Types of Prosecco
While there are some exceptions, Proseccos generally fall into three types:
- Spumante (sparkling) - This is the most common and widespread type of Prosecco bursting with tiny fizzy bubbles. Depending on the sugar level, Proseccospumantes can range from brut nature (very low sugar content), extra brut, and brut, to successively sweeter extra dry, dry, and demi-sec varieties.
- Frizzante(semi-sparkling) Â - Proseccofrizzante has lighter fizziness and can be either dry or sweet in taste.Â
- Tranquillo (flat) - Refers to Prosecco that is flat with no bubbles (closer in character to a white wine)
Choosing a Prosecco
If you are looking for a traditional, authentic Prosecco, you will want to keep your eyes out for the letters "DOC" or "DOCG." These designations reference the idea of a controlled designation of origin, and are quality classifications that can only be applied to varieties that adhere to a list of requirements, starting with their origin. Prosecco DOC is produced in the high-quality production region of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia in northern Italy. Prosecco DOCG takes it a step further and can only appear on the label if the product was made from grapes grown in the limestone-rich areas of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.Â
Once you understand its pedigree, consider your personal taste preferences to select low-sugar bruts or sweet dry Proseccos. Whatever you fancy, let Instacart deliver a wide variety of delectable Proseccos right to your door.Â
