Tag: Prosecco labels

Over 400 million bottles of Prosecco were sold last year, but its sugar content varies widely between styles. Knowing which Prosecco has low sugar is all about understanding the sweetness classifications found on the label, with Brut, Extra Brut, and Brut Nature being your driest options.

According to the official sweetness classification for Prosecco, Extra Dry Prosecco contains between 12 and 17 grams of residual sugar per liter. This is actually sweeter than the more common Brut Prosecco, which has less sugar, making the term “Extra Dry” somewhat misleading to many consumers.
