What is Prosecco and how is it made?
Prosecco is a sparkling wine that differs from Champagne in both method and mood. Where Champagne undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle (the méthode traditionnelle), most Prosecco is made using the Tank Method (or Charmat Method), which allows the wine to retain its fresh fruit flavours and aromatics. It’s typically less yeasty or bready than Champagne, and more vibrant and juicy.
There are two main Prosecco classifications:
-
DOC Prosecco – Denominazione di Origine Controllata, made under strict Italian wine laws.
-
DOCG Prosecco – A step up in prestige and quality, typically from areas like Valdobbiadene and Asolo.
What does Prosecco taste like?
Think crisp, clean, and fruit-driven. Prosecco is typically light-bodied with lively acidity and larger, frothier bubbles than Champagne. You’ll often find notes of:
- Green apple
- Pear
- White peach
- Honeydew
- Honeysuckle or citrus blossom
Some Prosecco may exhibit greater complexity, depending on the producer, but the overall experience remains fresh and joyous.
Is Prosecco sweet or dry?
Most Prosecco sold in Australia is dry or extra dry, though the term "extra dry" can be misleading as it actually has a touch more residual sugar than Brut. That subtle sweetness balances the acidity, enhancing its fruit-forward profile. You might also come across Prosecco Rosé, a newer style that adds a small portion of Pinot Noir and tends to be similarly dry and refreshing.
What foods pair well with Prosecco?
Prosecco is famously versatile when it comes to food pairings. Try it with:
- Soft cheeses like burrata, ricotta, or brie
- Fresh seafood and shellfish
- Light pastas with olive oil, lemon or seafood
- Antipasti platters with cured meats
- Even fried foods — its acidity cuts through the richness beautifully
Its subtle sweetness also makes it an excellent pairing for spicy Asian dishes or light desserts like fruit tarts.
Is Australian Prosecco any good?
Absolutely. Australian Prosecco, particularly from the King Valley in Victoria, has gained recognition both locally and internationally. Thanks to a strong Italian heritage in the region, producers in the King Valley craft quality expressions of Prosecco that are bright, consistent, and made to drink now. You’ll often find Australian Prosecco alongside Italian bottles in our sparkling wine collection.
