Bottega Vino Dei Poeti Brut Prosecco 75cl

Crisp, bright, and ridiculously easy to pour, this is the dry Italian Prosecco you want when the plan is bubbles first, overthinking never. Made from Glera grapes in the Prosecco DOC area of north-eastern Italy, it lands in that sweet spot between fresh fruit, clean fizz, and a Brut finish that keeps things snappy.

The problem with some sparkling wine? It can feel like homework. This one does not. Vino Dei Poeti keeps the mood light with lively bubbles, orchard-fruit freshness, and enough citrus bite to make the next sip automatic. It is a great entry point if you like Champagne vibes but want something softer, fruitier, and less serious at the table.

• Appearance: Pale straw yellow with fine, lively bubbles that look properly celebratory in the glass.
• Nose: Green apple and pear up front, followed by lemon peel, white flowers, and a tiny hint of almond.
• Palate: Dry Brut style with crisp acidity, fresh orchard fruit, light citrus, and a clean mineral edge that stops it feeling heavy.
• Body: Light-bodied, fresh, and energetic, built for sipping chilled rather than sitting around waiting for a speech.
• Finish: Clean and refreshing, with apple skin, citrus zest, and a gentle floral note hanging around just long enough.
• Food pairings: Try it with fried calamari, prawn linguine, salty potato crisps, prosciutto, or soft cheeses like burrata.

This is a proper aperitivo bottle. Chill it well, pour it before dinner, and let it do the social heavy lifting with seafood, light pasta, brunch eggs, or a snack board that mysteriously becomes dinner. It also makes a bright base for a Bellini if peach is your thing, though honestly, it does just fine on its own.

If your sparkling wine comfort zone is Cava or entry-level Champagne, this Prosecco is the friendlier next pour. Glera naturally brings that apple-and-pear lift, while the Brut style keeps the sweetness in check and the finish tidy. Translation: fresh, bubbly, and dangerously refillable.

Bottega has a knack for making Italian bottles that feel fun without getting silly. Vino Dei Poeti literally means “wine of the poets,” which sounds fancy until you pour it with crisps and realise the poets were probably onto something.

Keep this around for birthdays, housewarmings, last-minute guests, or Tuesday nights that need a tiny upgrade. It is sparkling wine with manners, but not the kind that makes you sit up straight.

Fun Fact: Bottega started out with deep roots in grappa before becoming one of Italy’s most recognisable names in Prosecco, so yes, they have been thinking about good Italian drinking culture for a very long time.
