Experience it yourself when you have your end of summer picnic, and welcome and send guests off with Prosecco gifts so they too can continue the celebration at home.

Elevate Food Flavours with Clean and Crisp Prosecco

Made with Italy’s Glera grapes, Prosecco has a neutral taste with fruity notes. This sparkling wine’s delicate flavour complements most dishes, from salty cured meats to charcoal grilled fish. You’ll tickle you and your guests’ tastebuds when you serve Prosecco with these dishes.

• A charcuterie board is a feast for the eyes and the stomach. This platter of cured meats, creamy cheeses, and crisp crackers is a sophisticated cornucopia of finger foods that will whet your guests’ appetite for your main dish. Prosecco’s yeastiness will heighten the savouriness of the flavours and its tartness will add a burst of unique undertones.
• Grilled vegetables on a cool summer day are made even more delicious with Prosecco. The wine’s acidity breaks through the bitterness of greens and the ripeness of sweeter vegetables.
• Whether it’s grilled prawns or baked salmon, seafood brings about thoughts of the sea. Prosecco’s subtle undertones of citrus and floral flavours will be more evident when paired with these dishes.
