The eggs are hidden, the lamb is in, and everyone wants a mimosa before the children find the chocolate. Six spring drinks, each starting with a cold bottle of Bella Principessa.
Which Prosecco for Easter?
A dry, fresh one: the juices and purées bring the sweetness. The Pink for the Rossini and a rosy mimosa.

Note di Pasqua
Bella Principessa Social Club
Juices in carafes, the bottles in ice, flutes on a tray. Guests pour their own ratio.
Then the juice. It mixes on the way down, and nothing foams over.
Two or three glasses a guest over a long brunch: a bottle for every two guests.
Fifteen minutes in ice and water chills a bottle; it stays cold on the lawn.
Same glasses for the children, so everyone toasts.
Buona Pasqua.

The Bottle
Every Bella Principessa bottle is ceramic‑painted, with no paper label, so it looks like part of the party from the moment it’s in the ice. Gold and Rosé, both Prosecco DOC Brut.
A 750 mL bottle pours five glasses. Two or three glasses a guest over a long brunch is about a bottle for every two guests.
Chilled bottles in an ice bucket, two or three juices in carafes (orange, peach, grapefruit), fresh berries, and flutes. Prosecco first, then the juice.
A dry Brut: the juice already brings the sweetness. Extra Dry is the sweeter style.
The same juices topped with sparkling water. Please enjoy responsibly: 21+ only, and plan a safe way home.
