After a change in regulation last month, rosé Prosecco has finally been approved as an export by the EU, as long as producers adhere to strict regulations. In response, an array of UK retailers, from national supermarkets like Morrisons and Aldi, to luxury department store Harvey Nichols, have brought out their own blushing bubbly in time for Christmas.

Aldi Prosecco Rosé DOC

Early to the pink Prosecco party, with producers granted permission to sell rosé Prosecco outside of Italy for the first time on 2 November, Aldi brought out its Prosecco Rosé DOC on the very same day. According to the retailer it offers “floral aromas on the nose and a palate offering a mix of summer fruits with a hint of strawberry and peach”, and should be served at 6-8 degrees.

Retail price: £6.49 for 75cl or £2.29 for mini 250ml bottle

I Heart Prosecco Rosé DOC

Not just a first for the I Heart range, the producer says this “fresh, crisp and zesty tipple” is also the first branded rosé Prosecco to land on UK shelves.

La Gioiosa Prosecco Rosé DOC

Villa Sandi’s off-trade brand, this “fresh and zesty” pink Prosecco has, according to the producer, “delicate red fruit flavours like red currants and raspberry, with an extra floral quality”. Light and bright in colour, La Gioiosa’s take on Prosecco rosé makes a perfect pair for raspberry soufflé.
