Bread & Butter NV DOC Italian Prosecco

It helps to begin with the grape. Prosecco is based on Glera: the Prosecco consortium names Glera as the traditional variety, allowing a short list of other permitted grapes up to fifteen percent of the blend. So a bottle labeled Prosecco, this Bread & Butter included, is first and foremost a Glera wine.

So far, few shoppers have rated it. The average is 5 out of five, from 2 ratings, above the 4.71 median across the 483 rated wines we track. Still, a single voice is far too thin to read as anything settled.

For taste, the consortium keeps it general: floral and fruity, fresh, with a straw-yellow color, and it points to the sweetness term on the label, from Brut Nature at the dry end to Demi-sec, as the real signal of how sweet a bottle runs. One fact stands apart from the Italian name on the front: the brand behind it, Bread & Butter, lists its home and tasting room at 3105 Silverado Trail in Napa, California.

Across our September 2026 checks this one carried a price from $13.99 to $20.99.

Bread & Butter's own page names the blend behind this label: Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio alongside the Glera the consortium requires, at 11 percent alcohol. The producer's tasting notes describe florals and citrus up front, then ripe apple, pear and white peach, with what it calls a creamy mouthfeel and layers of soft bubbles through a long finish. A named critic has reviewed it: Ruth Tobias, writing for The Tasting Panel in its May/June 2025 issue, scored the wine 90 points and described it as popping 'with notes of ripe yellow apple and pear as well as a splash of kiwi,' adding that 'citrusy acidity enhances the clean, sleek mouthfeel,' the critic's words. The producer places the wine's origin only as 'a small town in Italy near Venice,' without naming the specific Prosecco zone.

Our call: this suits a shopper who wants Prosecco backed by an outside critic's opinion, not just the producer's own copy; a named reviewer at The Tasting Panel scored it 90 points in a dated 2025 review, and its rating average sits above the median of the wines we track even from very few voices so far. Pass if you want that rating pool built out first: the shopper rating behind this bottle is still thin enough that one or two more scores could move the average significantly.
