The famous Martini wine company, whose alcoholic drinks have already become bestsellers around the world, does not stop there. Constantly among the offered products there is something new. And the latest novelty, which promises to become a bestseller, is Martini Prosecco sparkling wine. But what makes it different from other similar drinks? And why is it better than champagne? And most importantly, when and with what to drink it?

What is Prosecco?

Of course, the most famous sparkling wine is champagne. But its production is very laborious, and therefore one bottle of such a drink simply cannot be cheap. Much easier with sparkling wines, which are easier to make. However, most of them lose in many respects to champagne. The only exceptions are a couple of wines.

And one of them is the Italian sparkling wine prosecco. It is produced using the Sharma method. That is, its secondaryfermentation takes place in huge stainless steel tanks. This results in a significant cost reduction. However, so that the taste of the wine is not affected, only certain grape varieties from the province of Veneto are taken for the production of Prosecco Martini. So the company also pays tribute to the historical tradition.

With what and when to drink?

First of all, it is important to understand that, just like champagne, Prosecco Martini is served chilled. It is very important. Only in this way will his whole bouquet be revealed. At first there will be a feeling of coolness, like on the sea coast. Then the delicate taste will open with hints of green apple and peach, leaving a light spicy aftertaste.

But what to serve with sparkling wine Martini Prosecco? The Italians themselves consider it light and often wash down their meals with it during lunch. In the rest of Europe, it is used as an aperitif, like champagne. This means that seafood, Italian and French cheeses and, of course, crackers are perfect for a snack. But most importantly, it can be served as a main wine, with fish for dinner or lunch. But in combination with fruits and chocolate, Martini Prosecco may seem too sour.

Prosecco Martini Cocktails

In addition, this sparkling wine has long been a part of popular alcoholic cocktails. First of all, it is, of course, the world-famous Italian "Syringe". Easy to prepare, but no less interesting. Place some crushed ice in a tall glass. Pour in 100 ml of prosecco, add50 ml of aperol and sparkling water. Mix well and garnish with orange zest. Simple and tasteful. And such a strange name for Italy is explained by the fact that it was invented at a time when the province of Veneto was part of Austria-Hungary.

Another popular Prosecco Martini is the Mimosa. Although it was originally made with champagne, but with sparkling wine it turns out to be richer in taste. For a classic cocktail, you need to take a margarita glass and fill it with fine crushed frappe ice. Pour 15 ml of grenadine syrup, then 100 ml of orange juice and sparkling wine. This must be done carefully to preserve the layers. Garnish with zest and orange slice and cocktail cherry.
