Prosecco DOC Superstar: A Fascinating Insight Into The World’s Most Loved Sparkling Wine

Fresh, fruity and incredibly versatile, Prosecco DOC is now a protagonist on tables and in glasses all over the world. An Italian wine that has successfully captured international markets with its unmistakable style and its natural vocation for conviviality.

Every year, between production and consumption, its numbers grow, confirming it as a symbol of Italian winemaking excellence and the ideal companion for global gastronomic experiences. In every glass, the pleasure of meeting and the reflection of a cultural landscape made of beauty, know-how and Italian tradition.

Prosecco tells all this already at the aperitif time, with the Italian Spritz, which has become an international icon. Born in the Veneto during the Habsburg era and made famous thanks to bitters such as Select, Campari or Aperol, today it is officially recognized by the World Bartender Association as the Italian aperitif par excellence: a harmonious blend of freshness, vibrancy, and character, capable of appealing to every palate. But Prosecco DOC does not stop at the aperitif. Thanks to its lightness, balanced acidity, and elegant aromatic profile, it pairs well with cuisines from around the world, enhancing their flavors without ever overpowering them and Indian cuisine is no exception.

Its light and refreshing bubbles and fruity flavors, can be a delightful pairing with various Indian dishes, here are some recommendations:

Tandoori Dishes
The smoky and charred flavors of tandoori dishes are beautifully balanced by the crisp acidity and fruitiness of Prosecco DOC, enhancing the overall experience.

Curry Dishes
Prosecco DOC with Butter Chicken or Paneer Tikka Masala. Their creamy and rich sauces pair well with the lightness of Prosecco, while the bubbles help to cleanse the palate between bites.

Vegetarian Dishes
Aloo Gobi or Chana Masala: The light and fruity notes of Prosecco are perfect with the earthy and vegetable flavours of these vegetarian dishes, creating a refreshing combination.

But do not miss the chance to taste the authentic Prosecco DOC together with some pillars of the Italian cuisine. Try them in these two excellent Italian restaurants in India:

Olive Bar and Kitchen – Mumbai: order a glass of Prosecco DOC Extra Dry with Mushroom Risotto. Its light, bubbly nature and fruity notes, serves as an excellent counterpoint to the richness of the risotto.

Sorrento – Delhi: Have a Prosecco DOC Brut with a Pizza Bufalina. The wine’s fruity notes - green apple, pear, and citrus - pair wonderfully with the sweetness of the tomatoes and the creaminess of the buffalo mozzarella.

Prosecco’s crisp acidity helps to cut through the richness of the cheese, providing a refreshing contrast that enhances the overall flavor experience.

From the most intense spices to the most delicate recipes, Prosecco DOC always finds harmony, respectfully complementing every culinary tradition. Because wherever there is taste, connection, and culture... there is always room for a fine glass of Prosecco DOC.
