Discover Your New Favorite Prosecco
FAQs
1. What is Prosecco and how is it different from Champagne?
Prosecco is a sparkling wine just like Champagne. Champagne comes from the Champagne region of France while Prosecco hails from the Veneto region of Italy. Prosecco is typically slightly sweeter than Champagne and their tasting notes differ as well.
2. Which Prosecco wines are the best to drink?
With its delicate bubbles and citrus aromas, our personal favorite is La Marca Prosecco. If you’re a fan of Rosé, add bubbles with La Marca Prosecco Rosé, and for a softer, creamier texture, try La Marca Luminore Prosecco Superiore.
3. Is Prosecco sweet?
Prosecco has a tantalizing hint of sweetness that comes from notes of green apple, juicy pear, and honeysuckle. If you’re looking for a dry Prosecco, try Brut.
4. Can I cook with Prosecco?
Like any white wine, you can cook with Prosecco. Have a bottle that’s lost its bubbles? Perfect! When heated, sparkling wines will lose their bubbles anyhow, so put that bottle of flat Prosecco to good use. Try using Prosecco in richer dishes, like creamy risotto and pasta sauces.
5. Do I need a special glass?
The flute glass is the most popular option for serving Prosecco wines; its narrow shape retains the beautiful bubbles and enhances the wine’s aromas.
6. When do I drink Prosecco?
Prosecco is our brunch time go-to. It’s lively effervescence shines in mimosas and Bellinis and pairs with brunch favorites like eggs Benedict, chorizo chilaquiles, and chicken and waffles.
