We already mentioned that Kirkland is a private label for the Costco “store-brand” products, but we didn’t mention the reason behind it. It’s important to note that the Kirkland Prosecco is a DOCG wine. This highest grade classification can be awarded to a Prosecco due to its strict regulation and guarantee of quality. Yes Kirkland Prosecco is a high-quality brand. Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG) is the highest quality certification for Italian wines, and it is proudly displayed on the bottle of Kirkland Signature Asolo Prosecco Superiore. Kirkland’s Prosecco is a top-quality, affordable, and delicious option when it comes to store-brand wine. This means that the second fermenting process that results in the bubbles takes place in a large pressurized tank rather than inside the bottle itself.

Glera is the only variety mentioned for this Kirkland prosecco, so we don’t know if any other varieties were used in its production.

Now, on special occasions I usually like to open a bottle of Champagne. But what about when that bottle has been poured out amongst multiple people in under an hour?

Similar to other sparkling wine and champagne, prosecco comes in three varieties – Brut, Extra Dry and Dry.The Kirkland Signature Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a prosecco sparkling wine that is made from Glera grapes originating from Asolo in Veneto, Italy. This bottle is only available in Costco and it hails from vineyards located in the Veneto region, close to Italy’s Alps area. What are the criteria for classifying a sparkling wine as a prosecco? It must be produced using at least 85% Glera grapes. If you’re more accustomed to champagne or don’t drink sparkling wines very often, you may be wondering what prosecco is.

The acidity is also fairly moderate, making this a subtle choice to accompany spicy food or even to drink on its own as a celebratory beverage. This wine is a contemporary and typical example of this type of sparkling wine, and with only an 11% alcohol content it’s a great choice for drinking with friends at any kind of social occasion.
