The famous wine company Martini, whose alcoholic beverages have already become bestsellers around the world, does not stop there. Constantly among the products offered, something new appears. And the last novelty, which promises to be a bestseller, is Martini Prosecco sparkling wine. But what is its difference 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 can not be cheap. Much easier with sparkling wines that are easier to make. However, most of them lose a lot of champagne. The only exceptions are a couple of wines.
And one of them is Italian prosecco sparkling wine. It is produced using the Sharma method. That is, its secondary fermentation is carried out in huge stainless steel tanks. This leads to a significant reduction in cost. However, so that the taste of the wine does not suffer, only certain grape varieties from the province of Veneto are taken for the production of martini. So the company also pays tribute to historical tradition.
What and when to drink?
First of all, it is important to understand that, like champagne, Martini prosecco 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 reveals a delicate taste with hints of green apple and peach, leaving a light spicy aftertaste.
But what to bring to the sparkling wine Martini Prosecco? Italians themselves consider it easy and often wash them down with dishes during lunch. In the rest of Europe, it is used as an aperitif, like champagne. So, seafood, Italian and French cheeses and, of course, crackers are perfect for him as an appetizer. But the most important thing is that it can be served as the main wine for fish for dinner or lunch. But in combination with fruit and chocolate Martini Prosecco may seem too sour.
Martini Prosecco Cocktails
Moreover, such sparkling wine has long been a part of popular alcoholic cocktails. First of all, this, of course, is the world famous Italian "Syringe". Easy to prepare, but therefore no less interesting. In a tall glass you need to put some crushed ice. Pour 100 ml of prosecco, add 50 ml of aperol and sparkling water. Mix well and garnish with orange peel. Simple and tasteful. And such a strange name for Italy is due to the fact that it was invented at a time when the province of Veneto was part of Austria-Hungary.
Another popular cocktail with martini prosecco is Mimosa. Although initially it was made with champagne, but with sparkling wine it turns out with a richer taste. For a classic cocktail, you need to take a glass for Margarita and fill it with fine crushed ice frappe. 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 a zest and a slice of orange and a cocktail cherry.
