Eight of the most important Prosecco DOC and DOCG producers: history, values, labels and their mini-format selections.

Prosecco Types by Sweetness

The classification is based on the residual sugar content per litre — from bone dry to semi-sweet. Each style pairs differently with food.

0–3 g/l residual sugar

Brut Nature

The driest style. Extremely low sugar dosage, maximum expression of the Glera grape. Ideal with oysters and raw seafood dishes.

0–6 g/l residual sugar

Extra Brut

Very dry and savoury. Lively bubbles, clean and persistent finish. Perfect as an aperitif and with raw fish.

6–12 g/l residual sugar

Brut

The most popular mini bottle style. Dry but with a slight softness. A universal pairing from starters to savoury desserts.

12–17 g/l residual sugar

Extra Dry

The traditional Prosecco for a Spritz. Balance between freshness and softness, evident fruity notes. The most popular internationally.

17–32 g/l residual sugar

Dry

Slightly sweet, with ripe peach and apricot aromas. Ideal with savoury pastry and structured aperitifs.

32–50 g/l residual sugar

Demi-Sec

Semi-sweet and round. Mini bottles in this style are perfect as a dessert wine paired with not-too-sweet pastries.

Prosecco Styles by Bubble Level

Most popular

Spumante

>3.5 bar

The classic fully sparkling Prosecco. This is the style you find in 187ml mini bottles — vibrant, festive and universally recognised.

Frizzante

1–2.5 bar

Semi-sparkling with gentler bubbles. More delicate on the palate. Typically sold in 75cl standard bottles, rarely in mini format.

Tranquillo

Still

Still Prosecco without bubbles. Less common but excellent with starters and white fish dishes. A purist’s choice.

Col Fondo

Natural re-fermentation

Re-fermented in bottle with its own yeasts, naturally cloudy and lightly sparkling. The “ancestral Prosecco” loved by connoisseurs.
