7 sparkling proseccos for the summer

When the summer heat hits us again after several rainy days, there's nothing better than refreshing yourself with a cool glass of Prosecco. If you don't want to go straight for the stale supermarket Prosecco, you still don't have to spend a lot of money. The wine experts at vinoa have put together seven excellent Proseccos that are available for little money. Genuine "value for money", as they say. So take good care and then head into the summer night refreshed and sparkling!

Prosecco in der Abendsonne — A refreshing glass of Prosecco in the evening sun - what could be better?

1st Prosecco Frizzante Spago Nero

Fragrant apple pie peppered with fruity, floral citrus fruits, plus a gentle, mild sparkle and we have Riondo! This really tasty Prosecco is also a real price miracle. It's best to get a case right away - you won't get enough of it!

2nd Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut

Ripe fruit and a very light but very pleasant aroma of stone fruit, such as plum and apricot, make this Prosecco a fruity delight. The carbon dioxide is only slightly noticeable and makes the Prosecco easy to drink - so there is no risk of hiccups. This wine is a wonderful way to relax in the sun.

3rd Jeio Cuvée Spumante Brut Di Valdobbiadene

Ok, admittedly: we are repeating ourselves a little: This Prosecco combines the pleasant aroma of ripe summer fruits and fine notes of stone fruits (apricot, apricot) with the fresh effervescence of lemons and other citrus fruits. In contrast to Nino Franco (see above), however, this fine wine has a somewhat stronger sparkle and is also a good deal cheaper. If you like it a little milder, you can also choose the Jeio Colmei Prosecco Extra Dry Di Valdobbiadene.

4th Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG

Now comes one of those recommendations that comes from personal experience: make sure you chill a second bottle of this Prosecco! Especially if you're drinking it with good friends, because you won't be able to get enough of it. Dry and pure, with very fresh and fruity aromas of grapefruit and peach, this elegant Prosecco will flatter your palate.

5th Crede Prosecco Di Valdobbiadene

You will inevitably fall for this somewhat nobler representative of its kind! Its wonderfully floral notes of acacia blossom and full-bodied character on the tongue create a truly elegant Prosecco. It is well worth getting up from your hammock and standing upright to enjoy it to the full.

6th Col Vetoraz Spumante Brut Prosecco Di Valdobbiadene DOCG

Sparkling greenish yellow and a very fine perlage. The nose delights with aromas of pear, tangerine and light honey. This Prosecco floats light-footedly along and lets us linger in seventh heaven. And at this price, these words really aren't too high!

7th Prosecco Di Valdobbiadene Spumante DOCG "Marca Oro"

Finally, a real price/performance miracle: the "Marca Oro" is made to play the leading role for a moment during festive hours. But let's be honest: should we wait for big events? No! We simply define our summer as a celebration and sweeten the occasion with a straw-yellow, top-quality Prosecco with golden reflections. Once again, acacia blossom and honey enter into an aromatic liaison and create a dry wine with a very fine perlage.
