Celebrating National Prosecco Week: Bubbles Deserve More Than a Day

June 2–8 marks National Prosecco Week—and honestly, one day could never be enough. This Italian sparkler is light, lively, and incredibly versatile, so we’re celebrating all week long with our favorite bottles, bubbly cocktails, and a little Prosecco history.

A Sparkling History

Prosecco hails from the Veneto and Friuli regions of northeastern Italy and is made primarily from the Glera grape. Its name comes from the village of Prosecco near Trieste. Unlike Champagne, which undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, Prosecco uses the Charmat method, where fermentation happens in stainless steel tanks. This process keeps it bright, fresh, and fruit-forward—ideal for warm-weather sipping and spontaneous celebrations.

Best Bottles to Sip During National Prosecco Week

Whether you’re new to Prosecco or already a fan, here are a few favorite bottles to try:

• La Marca Prosecco – Crisp, refreshing, and widely available. A great all-purpose pick.
• Ruffino Prosecco – Delicate bubbles and floral notes. Great with brunch.
• Mionetto Brut – Dry and citrusy with a clean finish.
• Bisol Jeio Prosecco Superiore – A step up in elegance from the Valdobbiadene region.
• Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco – A delicate harmony of orchard fruits—think crisp apple and ripe pear with clean, dry finish.

Sparkling Prosecco Cocktails to Try This Week

Prosecco is the base for some of the most beloved (and brunch-approved) cocktails. Here are a few to shake up your week:

• Mimosa – Equal parts chilled orange juice and Prosecco.
• French 75 – Gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, topped with Prosecco.
• Hugo Spritz – Elderflower liqueur, mint leaves, lime, and Prosecco over ice.
• Prosecco Margarita – A sparkling twist with tequila, lime juice, and a Prosecco float.
