Questions about Prosecco
What temperature should you serve Prosecco at?
Chill it to about 6–8 °C before serving. If it is too cold, its aromas are harder to pick out, so let it warm slightly in the glass.
How do you open a bottle of Prosecco safely?
Chill the bottle first, remove the foil and loosen the wire cage while keeping a thumb over the cork. Point it away from people, hold the cork still and turn the bottle slowly until the cork comes out with a soft sigh.
How should you store an opened bottle of Prosecco?
Fit it with a sparkling-wine stopper and keep it upright in the fridge. It is best within a day or two, while the bubbles are still lively.
What do the sweetness terms on a Prosecco bottle mean?
They describe residual sugar: Brut is drier than Extra Dry, despite the name, while Dry is sweeter still. For the least sweet style, choose Brut or Extra Brut.
What cocktails can you make with Prosecco?
For a Bellini, pour Prosecco over white peach purée; for a Spritz, combine it with a bitter aperitif and a splash of soda. Add the Prosecco gently to keep as much fizz as possible.
How is Prosecco made?
Most Prosecco gets its bubbles through a second fermentation in a sealed pressurised tank, rather than in each bottle. This method keeps the wine’s fresh, fruity character.
Should you keep Prosecco for years before opening it?
Usually not: most Prosecco is made to be enjoyed young, while its fresh fruit flavours and sparkle are at their best. Store an unopened bottle somewhere cool, dark and steady in temperature.
Can you drink Prosecco while pregnant?
No. Choose a non-alcoholic drink instead; Prosecco contains alcohol even when it tastes light and fizzy.
