Your Prosecco food pairing guide

Prosecco, a sparkling white wine from the Veneto region of Italy, is made with Prosecco grapes – as opposed to Champagne, which is made in France with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes.

People love Prosecco for its light, spritzy bubbles, fruity flavor and affordable price point. It tends to be a bit sweeter than Champagne and pairs well with seafood, savory cheeses, cured meats and fruits. Try it with a sweet-and-salty appetizer like Prosciutto-Wrapped Dates! Prosecco is also delicious with Asian dishes such as Thai noodles or sushi.
