Why Americans are Starting to Drink More Prosecco and You Should Too

Prosecco consumption is on the rise. Here are three varietals to look out for and what to pair them with.

Last year, Prosecco consumption in the US grew a whopping 36%, while Champagne only saw a growth of 8%. Americans like their bubbly and it looks like they’re ready to try something new. Italy heard our cry for quality sparkling wines at a lower price and returned with their largest crop ever, producing 467 million bottles, 48 million of those making their way across the pond. That’s about 1 bottle for every 7 Americans.

Thanks to its higher quality and coming in at a lower price point than Champagne, we can now enjoy Prosecco at breakfast (bring on the mimosas), lunch, and dinner.

To taste some of the high-quality varieties coming out of Italy, we turned to Zonin.

Glera and Pinot Noir

Known at Zonin as the Black Edition, this powerful blend is like an iron fist in a velvet glove, strong, but elegant. Notes of apples, roses, and warm spices grace the palate and notes. Serve a Prosecco blended in this style with heavier fish dishes, such as seafood cakes, or spicy sushi rolls.
