What is Prosecco?
Prosecco is an Italian white wine made from highly aromatic Glera grape which is produced in a large area that spans nine provinces in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. It is named after the village of Prosecco.
Prosecco was also originally the name of the grape, but when the wine grew in popularity, better clarification was needed to keep just anyone from using the name. The prosecco grape was renamed ‘Glera’ in 2010, and it must make up 85% of the wine for it to be labelled Prosecco. The remaining 15% may only be comprised of these nine grapes: Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera Lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, and Pinot Noir.
The wine is almost always made in fully sparkling (spumante) or semi-sparkling (frizzante) style. It is best served in a tulip style sparkling wine glass. The height and slenderness of the tulip glass is said to help preserve the bubbles, and the bulb at the top helps collect more of the floral aromas that emanate from the wine.
Try Other Wines from Around the World
Jacques Scott Wines & Spirits stocks a huge selection of wines from around the world. Here are several of our favorites:
Australia: Australia ranks sixth in the world in wine production, and Chardonnay is the most widely planted white grape varietal. It is focused on fruit intensity and creamy texture. Try the award-winning Penfolds Koonunga Hill Chardonnay from South Australia. Enjoy it with chicken, fish, turkey, lightly sauced veal dishes, mushrooms, or pasta.
Chile: The country is large and climatically diverse, so you’ll find everything from delicious coastal Chardonnays to minty Carménères from the Colchagua Valley. Pick up a bottle of the Montes Reserva Chardonnay from Chile’s Curico Valley, which is fruity; creamy and has an elegant finish. Enjoy it with smoked, grilled or roasted meats, chicken, pork, lamb, beef, or veal
France: One of the top 3 major wine regions of the world (with Italy and Spain), more fine wine is produced per acre in France than almost anywhere else in the world. We enjoy the award-winning Drouhin “Drouhin-Vaudon” Chablis from Burgundy, France. Pair it with shellfish, crab or lobster.
South Africa: South Africa is considered a New World wine region, but it has been producing wine since the first vines were planted in the 17th century by Dutch settlers. Try the award-winning Rickety Bridge Foundation Stone White, a white blend from the vineyard-lined Franschhoek Valley in the Western Cape region of South Africa.
