How Prosecco DOC brings a spark of Italy to special moments

What makes a moment truly special? Sometimes it’s something as simple as popping open a bottle and watching the bubbles rise gently in your glass. In that instant, everything shifts: a last-minute dinner becomes a celebration, a sunny afternoon turns into a lasting memory. That’s the magic of Prosecco DOC - a true ambassador of the Italian art of living well.

Fresh, fruity and incredibly versatile, Prosecco DOC is now a protagonist on tables and in glasses all over the world. An Italian wine that has successfully captured international markets with its unmistakable style and its natural vocation for conviviality. Symbol of Italian winemaking excellence and ideal companion for global gastronomic experiences, every glass shows the pleasure of meeting and the reflection of a cultural landscape made of beauty, know-how and Italian tradition.

Prosecco DOC doesn’t need a special occasion to shine - it turns everyday experiences into something memorable. Its crisp, vibrant character makes it the perfect pairing for life’s spontaneous pleasures. Prosecco tells all this already at the aperitif time, with the Italian Spritz, which has become an international icon: a harmonious blend of freshness, vibrancy, and character, capable of appealing to every palate.

Following the iconic Italian style with Select, Campari or Aperol, or trying the Mexican twist: a touch of agave syrup, a splash of White Italian Vermouth, a dash of Cointreau and top up with Prosecco DOC Brut, garnished with a sprig of Mexican oregano and lemon zest. Best enjoyed alongside tacos and guacamole, it’s the perfect blend of Venetian tradition and Mexico’s vibrant energy. But Prosecco DOC does not stop at the aperitif. Thanks to its lightness, balanced acidity, and elegant aromatic profile, it pairs well with cuisines from around the world, enhancing their flavors without ever overpowering them and Mexican cuisine is no exception.

PROSECCO DOC & MEXICAN FOOD: A SPARKLING MATCH!

Prosecco, with its range of styles, is endlessly versatile - and Mexican cuisine, with its intense, zesty flavors, is the perfect playground for it. Prosecco DOC’s lively bubbles, crisp acidity, and moderate alcohol make it an ideal partner for salty, spicy, lime-kissed, and fried delights.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT STYLE

• Brut – Dry and crisp, ideal for high-acid dishes like lime- or tomatillo-based salsas, and perfect with savory or fried foods.

• Extra Dry – Slightly off-dry and the most popular style, it complements medium-spice tacos, softening chile heat with a whisper of sweetness.

• Dry – Noticeably off-dry, a match for sweeter- savory dishes, mild spices, and even desserts.

QUICK PAIRING TIPS

• Heat rises? Sweetness helps. Move from Brut to Extra Dry (or Dry) as chile intensity increases.

• Tangy, citrus-forward dishes? Go drier. Brut’s crispness pairs beautifully with limey and tomatillo flavors.

• Fried or fatty foods? Bubble it up. Brut’s

cleansing fizz works wonders, though all styles are welcome.

• Sweet dishes? Mirror the sweetness. Extra

Dry or Dry highlights the dish’s fruity notes.

And here we go with some suggestion based on our experience. Prosecco DOC brings sparkle and balance to a wide range of Mexican dishes, starting with fresh and raw seafood. A citrusy ceviche or shrimp aguachile pairs beautifully with a Brut, while Baja-style fried fish tacos with creamy salsa are enhanced by either Brut or Extra Dry, and a sweet-and-spicy shrimp cocktail finds perfect harmony with Extra Dry or Brut Rosé. Beyond seafood, its bright acidity and delicate bubbles adapt effortlessly to a variety of Mexican dishes - from tacos and antojitos like al pastor, carnitas, birria, or tinga, to hearty mains such as cochinita pibil and pollo en pipián verde.

Even vegetable preparations, tangy salads, flavorful cheeses, and sweet treats like pan de elote or fruit with chile-lime gain a refreshing lift, proving that Prosecco DOC brings a lively, elegant touch to every corner of the Mexican table - whether raw, savory, or sweet.
