Sparkling Wines Prosecco Bollicina - Prosecco

Bollicina Prosecco Brut from the Veneto region of Italy is a non-vintage sparkling white wine, crafted in the classic style for which this renowned appellation is celebrated. Typically, Prosecco wines are made primarily—if not exclusively—from the Glera grape variety, which is cherished for producing lively, aromatic wines with crisp acidity and delicate fruit notes. While the exact blend for this cuvée isn’t confirmed, you can generally expect this style of Prosecco to display flavours in the spectrum of green apple, pear, white peach, and sometimes a touch of floral or citrus character. The Brut designation means the wine is on the drier side, with refreshing effervescence that makes it instantly appealing as an aperitif or with food.

The Veneto region, nestled in north-eastern Italy between the Dolomites and the Adriatic Sea, provides an ideal microclimate for sparkling wine production. The cooling influences from the mountains and the moderating effect of the nearby sea help retain vibrancy and aromatics in the grapes, while soils are varied, often including limestone, clay, and gravel, offering a subtle mineral backbone to the final wine. Prosecco boasts a long history—its popularity has soared in recent decades, but its roots can be traced back several centuries as a festive and approachable Italian bubbles.

This cheerful Bollicina Prosecco Brut shines as an accompaniment to a wide range of dishes. Consider classic Venetian cicchetti such as baccalà mantecato (creamed salted cod on toast), deep-fried calamari, or a light seafood risotto. It partners equally well with soft cheeses, fresh salads, and sushi, while its crisp bubbles and palate-cleansing acidity provide a refreshing match for lightly spiced Asian cuisine or Mediterranean antipasti.

For full enjoyment, serve well-chilled, ideally between 6-8°C. Use tulip-shaped sparkling wine glasses to preserve the delicate bouquet and zest. This wine is best enjoyed young and fresh, offering its signature charm and frivolity for casual celebrations or refined aperitivo moments.
