As Prosecco sales continue to climb, consumers seeking festive, food-friendly sparkling wines for summer sipping, fall football or holiday flare are snagging Italy's fun, fizz-filled Prosecco in volume. In fact, it wasn't even a decade ago when Prosecco was sequestered away as a "local" wine for those in and around Venice. Today, it is making appearances all around the globe in savvy bars, on top restaurant wine lists and of course in consumer circles.

    Prosecco is an easy-going sparkling wine, made in several styles - frizzante and spumante being the most popular and still versions, though lesser-known, maintain their own indigenous following.

Part of Prosecco's popularity is grounded in its versatility. Whether looking for an aperitif, a wallet-conscious celebratory sparkler, or something with festive fizz to shake up sushi, toasted almonds or apple-laced desserts - Prosecco has the ability to pivot in a variety of directions based on the price point, availability and distribution, not to mention the lively bubbles and flavor appeal.
