An Aperol spritz is a quintessential cocktail for warm weather, and Prosecco is its key ingredient. Master mixologist Justin Lavenue emphasizes selecting Prosecco with the D.O.C.G. designation for quality assurance. He suggests Borrasca Prosecco DOCG for drier tastes, noting its crisp notes of pear and apple, and Pizzolato Prosecco DOC Rosé Brut for those who prefer a sweeter profile that features more floral and fruity aromas. Both options provide an excellent way to elevate the Aperol spritz without overspending.
"When choosing a Prosecco for an Aperol spritz, start by looking for a bottle with the D.O.C.G. designation (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita), this certification ensures the Prosecco has met strict quality standards recognized by the Italian government."
"If you prefer a drier profile, I recommend Borrasca Prosecco DOCG - its crisp pear, green apple, and subtle floral notes make it a perfect match for a refreshing spritz."
"If you're looking for something a bit more adventurous with a touch of sweetness, try Pizzolato Prosecco DOC Rosé Brut, it offers beautifully floral aromas alongside notes of nectarine, yellow apple, satsuma, and honey."
