Borgo Reale Kosher Prosecco

Borgo Reale Kosher Prosecco is a certified Kosher and Mevushal Italian sparkling wine made from 100% Glera grapes, bottled at 11% ABV in a standard 750ml format. Its dual Kosher and Mevushal certification makes it one of the more accessible sparkling options for observant households that require wines suitable for any host or server to handle.
Quick Facts: ABV: 11%  |  Origin: Italy  |  Style: Brut Sparkling  |  Producer: Cantine del Borgo Reale
Production & Heritage
Cantine del Borgo Reale was established in 1993 by Giordano Vini, an Italian wine group based in the Diano d’Alba area of Piedmont. The Prosecco is produced using the Charmat method: after an initial fermentation during the harvest period, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in autoclaves (pressurized stainless steel tanks), followed by 30 days of contact with fine lees. This extended lees contact contributes a subtle creaminess to the final wine while preserving the bright, fruit-forward character that Glera grapes are known for. The Kosher and Mevushal certification is maintained throughout the winemaking process under rabbinical supervision.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: The nose opens with fresh, intense floral notes before giving way to ripe stone fruit. Distinct aromas of peach and apricot dominate, supported by a clean, lightly honeyed undertone.
Taste: On entry, the palate is bright and lively with fine, persistent bubbles. At the mid-palate, strong peach and apricot flavors develop alongside a slightly fruity sweetness that stays controlled and balanced. The overall impression is dry with enough residual fruit character to feel generous without turning cloying.
Finish: The finish is crisp, clean, and moderate in length with lingering stone fruit and a refreshing mineral-tinged dryness. A light floral echo rounds out the final impression.
How to Drink Borgo Reale Prosecco
Serve well-chilled between 6–8°C (43–46°F) in a tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the aromatic floral and stone fruit notes. This Prosecco also works well as a base for sparkling cocktails:
Bellini: The natural peach and apricot profile mirrors the classic white peach purée, creating a seamless pairing.
Aperol Spritz: The dry, fruity backbone holds its own against Aperol’s bittersweet orange without being overwhelmed.
French 75: The wine’s crisp acidity and floral lift complement gin and lemon juice for a clean, elegant sparkling cocktail.

Why Borgo Reale Prosecco?
The Kosher sparkling wine market remains surprisingly narrow, and finding a Prosecco that carries both Kosher and Mevushal certification without sacrificing varietal character is a genuine challenge. Borgo Reale addresses that gap with a straightforward, well-made Charmat-method sparkling wine that tastes like Prosecco first and happens to be Kosher second. The 30-day lees contact adds a textural dimension not always found at this price tier, giving the wine a slightly fuller mouthfeel than many comparable bottles. For anyone maintaining Kosher dietary laws — or simply hosting guests who do — this is a practical, flavorful Prosecco that belongs in the regular rotation.
