Prosecco
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine made primarily from the Glera grape, produced in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy using the Charmat method, where secondary fermentation occurs in pressurized tanks rather than individual bottles. This process preserves the grape's fresh, aromatic character - floral notes, green apple, white peach, and delicate almond - while producing a lighter, more approachable effervescence than traditional method sparkling wines. Residual sugar levels create meaningful distinctions within the category, ranging from the crisper Brut expressions of Jeio by Bisol and La Jara Organic to the slightly rounder Extra Dry style found in Sorelle Bronca and Bellussi Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore. Ruggeri Giustino B represents the Rive single-vineyard tier, where site-specific fruit elevates complexity well beyond the broader DOC designation of La Marca.
