Yes. Pink Prosecco is an informal name for Prosecco rosé. Look for the complete Prosecco DOC Rosé designation on the bottle: pink colour alone does not identify the wine or tell you its sweetness.
“Bring the pink one” is a perfectly workable message between friends who know which bottle they mean. Faced with a shelf of sparkling rosés, it becomes a little less specific.
The nickname and the designation
Pink Prosecco describes Prosecco rosé in everyday language. Prosecco DOC Rosé is the appellation-defined wine, with its own grape blend and production requirements. Other pink sparkling wines have different identities.
The DOC blend contains 85–90% Glera and 10–15% Pinot Nero vinified as red wine. The red-wine component brings colour; the later sparkling process brings the bubbles. Our Prosecco rosé guide explains both.
Pink is not a sweetness level
Read the sweetness term separately. Prosecco DOC Rosé permits Brut Nature, Extra Brut, Brut and Extra Dry. Extra Dry is sweeter than Brut, despite the naming department’s apparent intentions.
Bella Principessa’s white and rosé are both Brut. The shared category does not establish identical sugar content or taste. Choose the expression you enjoy, rather than expecting the colour to place your order.
Read whether Prosecco rosé is dry or sweet for the label terms, or Prosecco rosé food pairings for the dinner that prompted the message.
