Prosecco
wines are Italy’s most popular sparklers. While it’s often compared to
Champagne, it’s made with a different set of grapes and a different
winemaking method. Technically, Prosecco is a sparkling wine that
originates from the Valdobbiadene region in Veneto, Italy. The wine is
made with Glera grapes and made into wine via the Charmat sparkling
method, which gives wines approximately 3 atmospheres of pressure. Most
Prosecco wines are produced in a dry, brut style. However, due to the
grapes fruity flavors of green apple, honeydew melon, pear, and
honeysuckle, it usually seems sweeter than it is. Even though brut is
the most popular sweetness level of Prosecco sold in the market today,
you can find styles that are sweeter if you seek them out.
