The Story Behind The La Marca Southside Spritz

Hailing from the picturesque hills of storied Treviso, Italy, La Marca has been crafting exceptional Prosecco for 55 years. Made with the region’s prized Glera grapes and produced using the Charmat method, it’s no surprise that the iconic label has reached the sought-after status as America's most loved sparkling wine.

Showcasing La Marca Prosecco’s versatility, the Southside Spritz is the perfect example of how a classic gin-based cocktail can be transformed and elevated by including the brand’s flagship sparkling wine.

Whether you’re hosting a warm-weather fête or celebrating a momentous event, La Marca Prosecco’s pleasant aromatics, lively effervescence, and crisp finish bring a festive addition of la dolce vita —  “the Italian sweet life” — to any occasion.
