Our take

What we make of this bottle

Prosecco's main grape is Glera; the Prosecco consortium notes that a short list of other permitted varieties can fill in up to about fifteen percent. We do not have a shopper rating for this wine.

La Marca describes itself as a cooperative of eight grower wineries in Italy's Treviso province, with more than fifty years behind it and members who together farm over fifteen thousand hectares of vines. The label reads Demi Sec, and the Prosecco consortium explains that this term, on a sweetness scale that begins at Brut Nature, is what tells you how sweet a bottle is.

On the shelf, where it was priced between $15.99 and $25.99 across the stores we checked in September 2026, it sits toward the lower half of the sparkling wines we track. The consortium keeps its description of the style plain: floral and fruity, with a fresh taste and a straw-yellow color.

La Marca traces its own founding to 1968, when it describes itself becoming “a devoted ambassador for Prosecco and the Veneto region of Italy”; the cooperative's production runs through the Metodo Italiano, the traditional Italian sparkling process the producer credits with preserving the Glera grape's fruit-forward character. On its own marketing, La Marca calls itself the top-selling Italian Prosecco brand in the US, citing IRI market-tracking data for the 52 weeks ending July 13, 2025. What the producer's pages do not publish, for this bottling or any other in its Prosecco line, is an alcohol percentage or a residual sugar reading; the Demi Sec name itself, which the consortium places on a sweetness scale that starts at Brut Nature, is the only sweetness signal on record.

Our call: reasonable for a shopper who wants a sweeter Prosecco from a brand with real scale behind it, a cooperative of eight grower wineries founded in 1968 that markets itself, by its own IRI-sourced figures, as the top-selling Italian Prosecco in the US, at one of the lower price points among the sparkling wines we track. Pass if you want the numbers spelled out before you buy; no ABV or residual sugar reading appears anywhere on the producer's pages, and no shopper rating has reached our record either.

Region guideProsecco DOC

A little background helps this bottle make sense.

Getting to know Prosecco DOC.

Judge it as Prosecco: a Glera-led, tank-fermented sparkling wine built around freshness and fruit, not as an inexpensive imitation of bottle-fermented Champagne.

The place

What the name means

A controlled denomination since 2009 covering specified provinces in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Weather

How grapes grow here

The DOC crosses plains and hills in northeastern Italy; the broad designation does not identify one village or exposure.

Soil

What lies under the vines

Alluvial, clay-loam and hill soils occur across the zone; the base DOC alone is not a single-soil claim.

How large the region is

Method
The Martinotti–Charmat method carries out secondary fermentation in pressurized tanks to preserve fruit and floral character.

Places within the region

Grape rule
Glera is the base; permitted grapes may contribute up to 15%.
Grape guideGlera

The grape name gives context. It is not a review of this bottle.

Getting to know Glera.

Glera is the white grape behind Prosecco. The Prosecco consortium lists Glera as the traditional variety, and a short list of other permitted grapes may be used up to 15 percent in total.

Category guide

What to expect in the glass

The consortium describes floral and fruity character, a fresh taste and a straw yellow color across the category. Most bottles are sparkling or semi-sparkling, and the labeled sweetness level, from Brut Nature through Demi-sec, tells you how dry the wine is.
