The Holiday Season is Here – Celebrate with the Best Prosecco Drinks!

Tue, Feb 25, 25

With Christmas around the corner, the festive season is officially upon us! As the decorations go up and the celebrations begin, it’s time to bring some sparkle to your gatherings. This year, why not skip the Champagne and embrace the charm of Prosecco—Italy’s beloved sparkling wine?

Hailing from the picturesque regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy, Prosecco is the perfect, budget-friendly drink to add fizz to any holiday celebration. Whether you're hosting a party, toasting Christmas morning, or ringing in the New Year, Prosecco's lively, fruity character is always a crowd-pleaser.

To help you select the best Prosecco for your festivities, we’ve curated a list of the top Proseccos that are sure to elevate any celebration. From crisp Brut to fruity Extra Dry, there’s a top Prosecco for every taste and occasion! 

A Spectrum of Styles for Every Palate

Prosecco, made predominantly from the Glera grape, is crafted using the Charmat method, where secondary fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks. This process preserves the wine’s fresh, fruity, and aromatic qualities, making it light and lively on the palate. If you're exploring the top Proseccos for the season, this method ensures a bubbly experience that pairs perfectly with festive occasions.

  • Brut Prosecco: One of the best Prosecco drinks, Brut is crisp, dry, and ideal for those who prefer a leaner style.
     Expect flavors of green apple, lemon zest, and hints of minerality, making it a perfect choice for those who 
    enjoy top-tier, elegant sparkling wines.

  • Extra Dry Prosecco: Contrary to its name, Extra Dry is slightly sweeter than Brut. It offers soft fruit flavors like
     ripe pear, peach, and white flowers, making it an approachable crowdpleaser. It’s often found among the 
    top shelf Proseccos, adding sophistication to any celebration.

  • Dry Prosecco: The sweetest of the three, Dry Prosecco is perfect for those who enjoy a more luscious, fruit-forward profile, with notes of honey and tropical fruits. Ideal for those seeking the best Prosecco drinks, Dry Prosecco offers an indulgent, vibrant option that complements both festive meals and casual toasts.
