Details
This Prosecco is a real charmer - easygoing and fresh, it has a wonderful balance of citrussy fruit and endearingly sweet flavours. There's candied lime, red apple skin and orange, mixed with some fairy floss and delicate bubbles. Always a winner.
Origin: There’s a small village called Prosecco near Trieste, in Friuli, Italy. Mainly Grown In: Prosecco can only come from either the Friuli or Veneto regions, in the north-east of Italy. Key Facts: Prosecco is THE sparkling wine of Italy. Sure, they make other fizzy stuff, but Prosecco is the most produced and the best known. The main grape is known as Glera these days (confusingly enough it was formerly known as Prosecco), but was changed in an attempt to keep Prosecco strictly Italian. It’s often a touch sweeter than other sparkling wines, but just in a fruit-forward kind of way, not a dessert-wine kind of way. It’s made slightly differently to Champagne and traditional method wines, and always shows off keen acidity, a lovely yellow apple and pear kind of flavour and is inherently refreshing. Fun Fact: Prosecco may seem like Champagne's lesser cousin, but it's more popular around the world (and invited to way more parties)

Pairing guide
Who can resist the delicious flavours of a classic Italian Prosecco? When it comes to festive wines, this one’s right up there with the best of them, and it’s about as food-friendly as it’s possible to get. You’ll want to be passing this bottle around with all those lovely nibbles and finger-foods, and it’s going to work a treat with anything from smoked salmon on blinis to classic prawn cocktail and any other savoury vol-au-vents you fancy serving up. It’s also going to go great with chips ‘n’ dips, and especially with any deep-fried foods. In fact, this bubbly is so versatile, it’s also going to go well with your sweet treats, too, so don’t hesitate to serve it alongside a fruit pavlova or similar. Yum!
