La Marca Prosecco Sparkling Wine
La Marca Prosecco Sparkling Wine is a 750mL Italian sparkling wine at 11% ABV — the flagship Prosecco D.O.C. Treviso from La Marca, the winegrowers' cooperative founded in 1968 representing some 5,000 growers in the Veneto, brought to the US by E&J Gallo. It is an Extra Dry (off-dry) sparkler made from Glera grapes by the Charmat method — the house's "Method Italiano" — for a fresh, fruit-first glass. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

The Blue Label From the Treviso Hills
La Marca is not a single estate but a cooperative — thousands of growers across the Prosecco hills pooling Glera fruit since 1968, with the pale blue label becoming America's default Prosecco pour along the way. The style is deliberately bright: primary fruit, fine persistent bubbles, and just a hint of sweetness in the Extra Dry frame.

Tasting Notes
Producer-described: a pale golden straw pour with fine, persistent bubbles. Nose: Fresh citrus and honeysuckle blossom with white-fleshed fruit. Palate: Green apple, juicy peach and ripe lemon with a touch of minerality, finishing light and refreshing with a hint of sweetness.
How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled (6–8°C) in a white wine glass or flute. It is the aperitif pour, the mimosa and Bellini base, and an easy match for prosciutto, burrata and light seafood.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is La Marca a rosé? No — this is the white flagship Prosecco from Glera grapes. (The live `Category: Rose Wine` tag is an error and is being removed; La Marca's Rosé is a separate product.)
Is it dry or sweet? Extra Dry on the Prosecco scale — off-dry, with a hint of sweetness, softer than a Brut.
Where does Prosecco come from? The Prosecco DOC in north-east Italy; La Marca's growers farm around Treviso in the Veneto.
