Best Prosecco Wines
Prosecco is one of the world's great wine grapes — frothy bubbles, fresh apple and pear, gentle floral notes and an easy approachability. Whether you are new to the variety or looking to explore its finest expressions, this guide covers what makes Prosecco distinctive, the regions that grow it best, and the foods that pair with it most beautifully. Every wine featured at Prism Fine Wine is hand-selected, available with US shipping, and backed by our team's tasting notes.
Where Prosecco grows best
Prosecco reaches its highest expression in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area of the Veneto in northeast Italy. Climate, soil and tradition all shape the way the grape tastes in glass. The cooler the site, the more delicate and aromatic the wine; the warmer the site, the richer and more concentrated the fruit. The best producers work with vineyards that suit the variety's natural personality rather than fighting it.
How to drink Prosecco
Serve sparkling Prosecco at the right temperature — well-chilled, around 42–46°F (6–8°C). Use a generous bowl glass that gives the aromatics room to develop. Open just before pouring so the wine keeps its freshness in the glass.
Food pairings for Prosecco
Prosecco pairs naturally with antipasti, prosciutto and melon, light seafood and a Sunday brunch. The classic combinations are classic for a reason — they balance the wine's weight, acidity and flavour profile against the food without either side overpowering the other.
