Benvolio Prosecco (Italy)

Benvolio Prosecco is a sparkling wine from Italy, crafted in the Prosecco DOC region. 

Prosecco is produced using the Glera grape variety, a hallmark of the region, offering flavors of peach, green apple, melon, and honeysuckle. Using the Charmat method for carbonation results in lighter, shorter-lived bubbles that typically last 1-2 hours (compared to champagne’s 4-8 hours).

Benvolio’s version is extra dry with 16-17 g/L residual sugar, making it ideal for aperitifs and light cocktails such as seafood, salads, or soft cheeses. It works particularly well with umami-rich Japanese cuisine without overpowering delicate flavors.
