Desiderio N° 1 Sparkling Prosecco Brut Millesimato Treviso DOC
DESIDERIO N°1 Prosecco MILLESIMATO BRUT is a Prosecco DOC (Controlled Designation of Origin), obtained by the vinification in vintage Glera grapes grown on the hills near Treviso, in the northern Italian region of Veneto.
This DOC wine is made according to the Charmat method, where the bubbles emerge in a secondary fermentation in a steel tank. This sparkling wine is fresh and elegant, light to medium- bodied and is meant to be consumed in its youth, to enjoy its liveliness and freshness. This crafted Prosecco is sophisticated yet playful, dry yet fruity, bursting with elegantly complex fruity notes of banana and vanilla, intertwined with fresher scents such as lemon and cedar. DESIDERIO N°1 Prosecco is made entirely from hand-selected, single-vintage Glera grapes from two specific locations in Italy’s Treviso commune – the home of Prosecco – within the Veneto region in northern Italy.
The difference between Prosecco vs Champagne vs Sekt | Desiderio N°1
What Is Prosecco? Prosecco is a sparkling wine made from the Glera grape in Italy. It has subtle floral aromas and tastes of apples, pears, and white peaches. Its flavor varies from sweet to dry. The Glera grape is usually grown up in the hills of northern Italy near Venice. The soil in this region adds to its unique flavor profile - which is why prosecco from other regions doesn't quite have the same taste!
What Is Champagne? Champagne, on the other hand, is a sparkling wine made from Chardonnay grapes grown only in France's Champagne region near Paris. This area has a different soil composition than Italy. It also tends to be more expensive due to labor costs and limited production areas. Champagne also can range from dry to sweet depending on how much sugar has been added during production and aging processes.
What is Sekt ? Sekt is a sparkling wine mainly produced in Germany. Here the producers are allowed to import grapes, juice or ready made wine to produce Sekt, therefore they are not allowed to use a protected designation of origin or protected denomination unlike Prosecco and Champagne. Most Sekt are producing using the Martinotti-Charmat method, like Prosecco and a smaller percentage using the Classic Method like Champagne. Regardless of the quality and area of production, Sekt tends to be sweeter than Prosecco and Champagne, with a strong fruity aroma and floral notes.
Cocktail recipe with Desiderio N1
Sometimes a simple mistake can create a classic and a fortuitous event can become the rule.
The Negroni Sbagliato was born in Milano between the end of the 60s and the beginning of the 70s, in the Basso bar, a historic neighborhood bar still in vogue today. It was invented by the bartender Mirko Stocchetto: it seems that during the preparation of a classic Negroni, Mirko confused the bottle of gin with that of Prosecco. Success was immediately ensured, precisely due to the presence of sparkling wine, which makes this cocktail less complex and more drinkable thanks to its bubbles.

In order to produce Prosecco we must follow a strict "disciplinare" (literally translated a huge book of rules and regulations!) and according to those rules, Prosecco can only be produced in certain areas, using certain grapes and a rigorous production method with pre-established deadlines. Only then the Government will issue a certificate for your Prosecco DOC (controlled designation of origin) to make sure you get the best product in your bottle.
