Best Foods to Pair with Prosecco
These dishes complement the green apple notes of Prosecco.
Prosciutto & Charcuterie
Cured meats including prosciutto, salami, coppa, and charcuterie boards.
💡 Bubbles cut through the fat of cured meats. Prosecco is the classic Italian pairing.
Shrimp
Grilled shrimp, shrimp scampi, coconut shrimp, and shrimp cocktail.
💡 Garlic shrimp loves Sauvignon Blanc. Fried shrimp pairs surprisingly well with Champagne.
Creamy Pasta
Fettuccine Alfredo, carbonara, and other cream-based pasta dishes.
💡 Creamy sauces need wines with good acidity to cut through richness. Oaked Chardonnay is ideal.
Light Pasta
Pasta primavera, aglio e olio, and light olive oil-based pasta.
💡 Light pasta needs light wine. Prosecco is wonderfully refreshing with simple pasta dishes.
Soft Cheese
Brie, Camembert, Burrata, and fresh Mozzarella.
💡 Soft, creamy cheeses love bubbles. Champagne with Brie is an elegant pairing.
Indian Food
Curry, tandoori, biryani, and Indian vegetarian dishes.
💡 Off-dry wines work best with Indian spices. Avoid tannic reds which clash with heat.
Mediterranean Food
Greek food, hummus, falafel, kebabs, and mezze platters.
💡 Rosé is perfect for Mediterranean cuisine. Its versatility handles the variety of mezze.
Fried Foods
Fried chicken, fish and chips, tempura, and other fried dishes.
💡 Bubbles cut through grease! Champagne with fried chicken is an underrated combo.
