A drinks expert has named the best supermarket prosecco, with Asolo taking the top spot ahead of Aldi's popular offering. The taste test evaluated 10 proseccos from various retailers, focusing on flavour, balance, and value for money.
The winning Asolo prosecco was praised for its silky soft bubbles and vibrant, fresh taste with notes of apricot, pear, and lime. Described as a universally balanced brut prosecco, it offers quality at a great price point, making it an easy-drinking choice for any occasion.
While Aldi's Valdobbiadene prosecco impressed with its crispness and apple, honey, and pear flavours, it was edged out by Asolo's superior balance. Aldi's bottle remains a budget-friendly option at £8, but the expert noted its classic prosecco sweetness is less prominent.
Other notable mentions include an organic prosecco that tastes more expensive than its £13.50 price tag, and a rosé prosecco from Bottega, which combines a fun, glittery bottle with fresh berry flavours. The test also highlighted that extra dry prosecco is sweeter than brut, and Valdobbiadene is the highest quality appellation.
