Chardonnay & Pinot, Prosecco DOCG
Sparkling White: tasting notes
Chardonnay and Pinot, from the Prosecco DOCG hills of north east Italy.
The perlage is fine and persistent, which is the first thing you notice and the thing cheap fizz gets wrong. Green apple and citrus on the nose with a floral edge, then dry and clean through the finish.
Serve it properly cold, 6 to 8°C.
The pink counterpart
Sparkling Pink: the rosé fizz
The same approach in pink. Soft red fruit, a delicate perlage, and the same figures: 0g sugar, 0g carbs, 60 kcal per 100ml at 11% vol.
Sparkling rosé is usually one of the sweeter categories on the shelf, because pink fizz tends to receive a more generous dosage. This one receives none.
Calories in fizz, per flute and per bottle
| Pour | Calories | Sugar | Carbs |
|---|---|---|---|
| 125ml flute | 75 | 0g | 0g |
| 175ml glass | 105 | 0g | 0g |
| 750ml bottle | 450 | 0g | 0g |
Calculated from 60 kcal per 100ml. Fizz is usually served in a 125ml pour, which makes it one of the lighter drinks by serving even before you look at the sugar.
Why extra dry prosecco is sweeter than brut
This one catches almost everybody out, and it is the single most useful thing to understand about buying fizz. Sparkling wine terms do not mean what they sound like. The scale runs from driest to sweetest like this:
| Term | Sugar, grams per litre | What it actually means |
|---|---|---|
| Brut nature | 0 to 3 | No dosage added. The driest category there is. |
| Extra brut | 0 to 6 | Very dry |
| Brut | 0 to 12 | Dry. The most common style |
| Extra dry | 12 to 17 | Sweeter than brut, despite the name |
| Dry / Secco | 17 to 32 | Sweeter again |
| Demi-sec | 32 to 50 | Noticeably sweet |
So “extra dry” sits two steps sweeter than “brut”. A bottle labelled extra dry can carry more than five times the sugar of a brut nature.
The reason is dosage. After the second fermentation, a small amount of sugar solution is added to balance the acidity. Almost all sparkling wine gets some. Ours gets none, which puts it at the brut nature end of that scale, at zero.
Two things have to go right
Sugar free sparkling wine: how it is made
First, the base wine is fermented until every gram of natural grape sugar has converted into alcohol, using selected yeasts and a longer, cooler fermentation.
Second, and this is the part specific to fizz, no dosage is added afterwards. That is the step where sparkling wine normally picks up its sugar, and skipping it is only possible if the base wine is balanced enough to carry itself without the correction.
Nothing added, nothing removed, 11% vol.
The comparison
A lighter alternative to prosecco and champagne
Standard prosecco and champagne both carry dosage sugar as a matter of course, even in brut form. That is where the difference sits.
We would not tell you this replaces a good champagne for a wedding toast. What it does is give you a properly dry Italian fizz, made in the DOCG hills, with nothing added at the end, at a figure you can account for.
Getting it right
Serving, chilling and glassware
Chill it properly, 6 to 8°C, which means three hours in the fridge or twenty minutes in ice and water.
Use a tulip glass rather than a flute or a coupe. A flute is too narrow to let the aromatics out and a coupe loses the bubbles. A tulip does both jobs.
Open it quietly. Hold the cork and turn the bottle, not the other way round.
Cases and delivery
Single bottles or cases of six and twelve. Sparkling White is in the three bottle taster pack alongside a red and a white.
For an event, allow roughly one bottle per four guests for a toast and rather more if the fizz is carrying the whole reception.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
75 calories in a 125ml flute and 105 in a 175ml glass, at 60 kcal per 100ml. Both the Sparkling White and the Sparkling Pink are the same.
Standard prosecco carries dosage sugar added after the second fermentation, even in brut form, and extra dry prosecco carries noticeably more than brut despite the name. Ours carries none, so it sits at the dry end of the scale with the sugar calories removed.
Neither term applies exactly, because both allow some sugar. At 0g per litre it sits in the brut nature band, which is the driest category on the scale.
Almost all of it does. Sugar is added as dosage after the second fermentation to balance acidity. How much depends on the style, from around 3 grams per litre in a brut nature to over 30 in a dry or secco.
Yes, in the Prosecco DOCG area of north east Italy, from Chardonnay and Pinot grapes.
