<\/a><\/p>\n Prosecco is highly underrated in the US because most of us think it has to be sweet. Our brains have been wired to think of the wine from our limit experiences of what we bought in the grocery store during college. There is so much more diversity and deliciousness to the beverage. It is some of the most consumed wine in Italy and a great deal of the varieties never make it to the States.<\/p>\n The wine can come in a level of sparkling from Spumante to Frizzante to Tranquillo which goes from highest amount of bubbles to lowest. The main grape is Glera but there can be up to 15% of eight other designated grapes. There are 9 provinces of Italy that make up the DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) which are the only places you can produce the wine and officially call it Prosecco. There is also a smaller region where they can make a super fancy version called DOCG (Garanitita).<\/p>\n Prosecco can easily replace Champagne in a cocktail especially if you get a higher quality one. You don’t have to break the bank either as you can get most of what is available in the US for under $25.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
