"Made in Italy, Asolo Prosecco features the DOCG classification, which stands for Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita, meaning controlled and guaranteed designation of origin. This is the highest classification for Italian wines, and means that the product has undergone incredibly strict quality control and testing regulations. When you see this acronym on a bottle of Italian wine, you know that the origin and varietal of grapes as well as the aging period have been carefully vetted."
"In order to be called Prosecco instead of just sparkling wine, a product must be made from the Glera grape variety, using the Charmat Method. While some sparkling wine is fermented grape juice that has carbonation added after the initial fermentation process, both Champagne and Prosecco undergo a secondary fermentation process; Champagne in bottles and Prosecco in pressurized tanks. The light fizziness of true Prosecco results from that second fermentation rather than the addition of carbonation."
Many people assume higher-priced alcohol equals higher quality, but affordable bottles can match luxury brands when chosen carefully. Costco sells a Kirkland Signature Asolo Prosecco priced under $10 that offers strong value. Asolo Prosecco carries the DOCG classification, Italy's highest designation, indicating controlled origin, grape varietal verification, aging period vetting, strict quality control, and government taste-testing. Prosecco must be made from Glera grapes and produced using the Charmat Method, which creates secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks rather than bottles. That secondary fermentation produces Prosecco's light fizziness. Costco shoppers praise the Kirkland Asolo Prosecco for taste and quality. The Asolo Prosecco is extra dry and sourced from multiple vineyards in Asolo, Veneto, imported by Misa Imports.
