Our take
What we make of this bottle
Can a Prosecco be pink? This one is, and the facts underneath the page are these: a confirmed grape, a confirmed place, a set of shopper scores, and prices from our own September 2026 checks. Ruffino has not yet given us a brand fact we could verify, so the two voices doing the talking are the Prosecco consortium and the shoppers. Start with the shoppers: 45 of them had scored this wine by August 12, 2026, and their 4.6 average runs a little below 4.71, the middle mark among the 483 rated wines in our catalog. The consortium's side is broader. It lists Glera, a white grape, as the traditional variety of Prosecco, and its words for the category are floral, fruity and fresh, a description that belongs to the consortium rather than to our tasting. The lowest price in the September 2026 checks was $12.99.
Most bottles in the category, the consortium says, are sparkling or semi-sparkling, and the labeled sweetness level, running from Brut Nature at the driest through Demi-sec at the sweetest, tells a shopper how dry the wine will be. If you are weighing two pink sparklers in the aisle, look for that sweetness word. One curiosity is ours to point out: the consortium gives straw yellow as the category's color, and Glera is a white grape. The rules do allow other permitted grapes, up to 15 percent of the blend, but our research does not say what makes this bottle pink. The highest price in those same September 2026 checks was $21.99; the checks came from seven stores. The full blend for this bottle is not part of our research, and the pink color stays unexplained on this page.
Our call: pick it for an inexpensive pink sparkler bought on the label's own terms; its low price sits among the least expensive roses we track, and the consortium's sweetness scale on the bottle will tell you how dry the wine will be. Leave it if open questions bother you, since shoppers place it below the middle of the rated wines we cover and our research does not explain what makes it pink.

Research status
What we are still checking
Our overview above draws on the dated store feed, shopper ratings, our region and grape research, and any sourced producer facts. We are still working to confirm the current release, the full producer record, and the bottle itself, and we update this page as we learn more.
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.
What the name means
A controlled denomination since 2009 covering specified provinces in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
How grapes grow here
The DOC crosses plains and hills in northeastern Italy; the broad designation does not identify one village or exposure.
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%.
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.
