Menestrello Prosecco Spumante White Wine, 750 ml

Product Information

What: La Gioiosa’s process involves freezing the grapes to zero degrees immediately after they are squeezed. Taste the benefits of this method in a bouquet of fresh white flowers, pears and stone fruits.

Guests coming round? Serve this fizz chilled with a side of nuts, hard cheese, continental meat, and salad. Or put on your chef’s hat and rustle up a creamy Dauphinoise fish pie. A splash or two of Prosecco, Champagne, or Cava can take its flavour to a new level.

What: Prosecco connoisseurs (including us) rave about this Tesco Prosecco, not only because it tastes incredible, but because it’s just a tenner a bottle! The quality of the grapes, which come from the slopes of Valdobbiadene, translate into superior flavours, including peach, pear and white blossom, which go particularly well with canapès and summer salads. That’s not to say you can’t toast with it on Christmas morning, though – this Prosecco is definitely an all-season fizz.

Menestrello Prosecco is made at the new Bacio della Luna winery which lies in the village of Vidor, in the heart of Valdobbiadene Prosecco region. It is located 50 km from Venice, in the hilly strip of the Province of Treviso lying between the Dolomites and the Adriatic sea. Regional InformationWhat: Not only is Morrisons Prosecco tasty and affordable, it’s also suitable for vegans – bonus! Made with grapes sourced from the best area in Italy, Conegliano Valdobbiadene, Morrisons The Best Valdobbiadene delivers intense flavours of fresh green apple and pear and overtones of apple blossom.

What: For a super dry refreshing finish you can’t beat this M&S classic, perfumed with flavours of lemon, pear and apple. Made on an Italian family estate there has been particular attention paid to creating a drink with a really modern style. The dry finish brings floral notes which makes it great for pairing with desserts as well as having before a meal.

Make big and small occasions feel even more special with a bottle of Prosecco. Sourced from trusted suppliers in Italy, you’ll love its crisp and aromatic flavour. From sweet to extra dry, we’ve got options for all tastes. With its soft pink colour, our Rose Prosecco can help elevate your dinner dates. It goes particularly well with nibbles like berries and olives. And for life’s bigger moments, pop open a bottle of sparkling wine. What: You can’t go wrong with a bottle of Mionetto Prosecco – its entire range is stylish and delicious, after all – but we’re particularly partial to its so-called ‘Orange Label’ for its aromatic notes of apple, honey, white peach, and acacia blossom. Light, fresh and dangerously moreish, it’s great as an aperitivo, as an accompaniment to food or sipped from a chilled flute at any time of the day or night. What: It might be the cheapest prosecco on this list, but that’s definitely not to say it’s the least tasty. With undertones of pear, citrus and lychee, this Lidl Prosecco provides an elegantly-balanced sip that’s ideal for getting a party started. It also pairs well with cicchetti (but then, very few Proseccos don’t).

For a special treat, enjoy with some olives and cold meat for an authentic Italian starter. Serve chilled. Country of Origin Not only are Sainsbury's offering a magnum bottle of Prosecco in store, it's also a Taste the Difference bottle. The supermarket's own luxury brand of food and drink is always a popular choice and so is this bottle of Conegliano Prosecco. What: A consistent high-performer with Laithwaites, Alessio Rossetto's easy-drinking Prosecco is full on sparkle and flavour, with creamy ripe peach, stone fruit and a hint of pear. This is a lovely fun Prosecco that covers all bases and occasions, and the full Spumante bubble makes it great for special occasions.

As Brits drink more Prosecco than anyone else, including the Italians who produce it, we thought the time was ripe for a guide to the best Prosecco to buy right now. You might ask what qualifies us to decide what constitutes the ‘best Prosecco’, and the simple answer is that we drink it all the time. We know what you’re thinking – what a hard life for SquareMeal writers! But it’s not all sipping chilled glasses offizz, you know; we’ve suffered a fair few hangovers for our craft. (Okay, we’re fibbing, it wasn’t a hardship at all and we never drink to excess.) For a special treat, enjoy with some olives and cold meat for an authentic Italian starter. Serve chilled. Preparation and Usage What: If a gold bottle doesn’t give you serious party vibes, we’re not sure what will. While the bottle sets the tone, it’s the contents that will really get guests talking. With a crisp and elegant style, flavour notes here include white peach, hints of citrus and wonderfully refreshing green apple. Serve chilled in coupes for ultimate sophistication. The grapes are softly pressed to obtain the must, which is then filtered and refrigerate in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks which retain all the freshness of the fruit. Fermentation takes places between 18°C and 22°C. When this has finished the wine is then stabilised and the sparkling wine-making process follows. Here second fermentation occurs using the Charmat method. Units We won’t go on, as we know you’re eager to get to our list of the best Prosecco brands to try right now, but we did just want to share a few facts about Prosecco that we learned during our testing. The most interesting of those (we think) is that ‘extra dry’ is not the driest Prosecco. ‘Brut’ Prosecco is, in fact, the driest while ‘dry’ actually describes fairly sweet Prosecco.
