Picture this: a beautifully set table, the sun shining, and the smell of pancakes in the air. And right next to your plate, a glass of fresh, sparkling Prosecco. Yes, it’s the brunch of your dreams, but here’s a little secret not everyone knows: to make this meal truly unforgettable, Prosecco is the magic ingredient.

Whether you’re a seasoned weekend brunch-goer or a newbie just getting into the sacred ritual, one thing is certain: Prosecco is the king of bubbles and the perfect partner for an array of dishes. But let’s not stop there—the real fun is in discovering how to pair it perfectly to make your brunch an experience worthy of the 'Gram.

In this article, we’ll dive into the best pairings between Prosecco and brunch dishes, with recommendations on which bottles to choose to wow your guests (or simply treat yourself on a relaxing morning).

Why Prosecco is the king of brunch

We all know brunch is special, but what makes Prosecco the ideal choice over other options?

Fresh and light: The bubbles in Prosecco are lively but not overwhelming, making it perfect for starting the day without overpowering your palate. Its fresh, fruity taste pairs beautifully with typical brunch dishes.
Accessible and versatile: Prosecco is more affordable than champagne, without sacrificing quality or style. There are great bottles for every budget and occasion, and its versatility makes it perfect for pairing with both sweet and savory dishes.
Great for any season: Whether it’s a summer brunch outdoors or a cozy winter brunch indoors, Prosecco fits right in thanks to its lightness and wide range of flavors, from Brut to Rosé.

Types of Prosecco and how to pair them

Now that you know why Prosecco is the right choice for brunch, let’s look at the types of Prosecco and how to pair them with your favorite dishes.

Prosecco Brut

Prosecco Brut is perfect for those who prefer a drier, less sweet wine. With its clean profile and low sugar content, Brut pairs perfectly with savory, flavorful dishes. For example, if you're serving eggs Benedict with creamy hollandaise sauce, the Prosecco DOC Extra Brut Millesimato will be your best ally. Its lively bubbles and acidity balance the richness of the sauce, creating a pairing that leaves your palate refreshed with every bite.

Prosecco Extra Dry

Despite the name, Prosecco Extra Dry is slightly sweeter than Brut, with a delicate balance of sweetness and acidity. This makes it ideal for dishes with a creamy base or for those who prefer a wine with a touch of softness. Think avocado toast with a squeeze of lime: the creaminess of the avocado finds its perfect partner in the San Martino Prosecco DOC Extra Dry, which, with its slight sweetness, balances the dish without overpowering the flavors.

Prosecco Rosé

Prosecco Rosé is a bold and sophisticated choice for brunch. With its delicate pink hue and fruity notes of strawberries and raspberries, it’s perfect for sweet dishes and desserts. Imagine blueberry pancakes with maple syrup: the fruity notes of the Prosecco Rosé DOC Millesimato will enhance the sweet flavors of the blueberries and syrup, creating an irresistible contrast. This pairing turns a classic brunch into a special event, where each bite becomes more intriguing thanks to the delicate bubbles.

Top Pairings for the Perfect Brunch

Now that we’ve explored the different types of Prosecco, let’s get into the specific pairings that will turn your brunch into an unforgettable event. We’ve selected some of the most popular brunch dishes and paired them with the best Prosecco options from Svinando’s selection.

• Eggs Benedict and Prosecco Brut
  
  Eggs Benedict is one of the richest brunch dishes, thanks to its creamy hollandaise sauce. The Prosecco DOC Extra Brut Millesimato, with its vibrant acidity and dry finish, is the perfect pairing to cut through the richness of the dish, leaving your palate fresh. This pairing enhances the complexity of the eggs while balancing the creaminess of the sauce.
   
• Avocado Toast and Prosecco Extra Dry
  
  Avocado toast, especially when topped with lime or spices, needs a wine that balances the creaminess of the avocado without overpowering the flavor. The San Martino Prosecco DOC Extra Dry, with its slight sweetness and balanced acidity, pairs perfectly, bringing out the fresh, vibrant flavors of the avocado and turning a simple toast into a gourmet dish.
   
• Blueberry Pancakes and Prosecco Rosé
  
  Blueberry pancakes are a sweet brunch classic, and the Prosecco Rosé DOC Millesimato, with its berry notes, is the perfect match to enhance the sweetness of the blueberries and the softness of the pancakes. This pairing adds an elegant and refined touch to a dish that might otherwise seem simple, making the brunch truly unforgettable.
   
• Vegetable Frittata and Prosecco Extra Dry
  
  A vegetable frittata is a light, flavorful dish that calls for an equally light but vibrant wine. The San Martino Prosecco DOC Extra Dry, with its balance of acidity and sweetness, brings out the fresh notes of the vegetables without overwhelming them, offering a harmonious experience with every bite.

Prosecco-based cocktails for brunch

If you really want to add an extra touch to your brunch, Prosecco-based cocktails are a fantastic idea. Here are a few classic recipes that never go out of style:

• Mimosa: A simple, fresh cocktail combining orange juice and Prosecco. Perfect for starting the day on a light note. For a sparkling twist, try making it with San Martino Prosecco DOC Extra Dry, which adds freshness and a delicate balance of flavors to the classic cocktail.
• Bellini: Another classic, made with peach puree and Prosecco. Sweet, fruity, and incredibly refreshing. The Prosecco Rosé DOC Millesimato is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your Bellini, with its fruity notes perfectly complementing the sweetness of the peaches.
• Aperol Spritz: If brunch stretches into the afternoon, an Aperol Spritz is always a good idea. This classic, refreshing cocktail combines Aperol, soda, and, of course, Prosecco. Try using the Prosecco DOC Extra Brut Millesimato for a clean, vibrant Aperol Spritz. Its fine bubbles and freshness perfectly balance the bitterness of Aperol, making the cocktail harmonious and thirst-quenching.
