Award-winning bubbles to celebrate National Prosecco Day

Cheers to Italy’s most popular sparkling wine with top-scoring styles from Decanter World Wine Awards.

National Prosecco Day is celebrated annually on 13th August, and what better way to join the celebrations than by popping open an award-winning bottle of the bubbles?

Recently announced, Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA) 2024 results saw 178 Prosecco wines awarded a medal by some of the world’s leading wine experts, including four Golds. 

Well-crafted wines can be found from Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, with two Gold medals (95-96 points) awarded to one of Prosecco’s two DOCG designations, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore.

Established in 2009, and updated in 2019 to include the official identification of 43 hillside sites or ‘Rive,’ wines from this DOCG have attributed to the recent surge in Prosecco quality, accompanying this wine’s rise in global popularity.

But it’s not just quality to note of the top-scoring Proseccos from DWWA 2024 – there’s style to consider too, with various examples ranging from floral and fruity characteristics to savoury and nutty.

As a guide, in both Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, Proseccos tend to be more fruity in character, whereas to their west, the smaller DOCG Asolo Prosecco produces styles that are more mineral, savoury and linear.

For complexity, quality and a diversity of styles and sub-regions, the below 10 award-winning Prosecco wines from Veneto are well worth a try this National Prosecco Day and beyond. Discover many more on our results site at awards.decanter.com
