Who makes Kirkland Signature Prosecco (Italian DOC / DOCG sparkling)?

Back label reads only 'From prime estate vineyards in the historic Veneto regions... the best grapes cultivated with passion in a magnificent territory close to the Italian Alps' (11% alcohol) and names the US importer 'Misa Imports.' No Italian winery, cooperative, or bottler is identified.

Recall of ~941,400 bottles (item 1879870, UPC 196633883742) for a glass laceration hazard names the recalling firm/importer 'F&F Fine Wines International, Inc. (dba Ethica Wines), Miami, FL' and says the bottles were manufactured in Italy, but names no Italian wine producer or bottler. The recall concerns the glass, not the wine.

The roundup that names producers for most Kirkland wines (Champagne, Cotes du Rhone, Malbec, etc.) lists no producer for any Kirkland Prosecco — a telling omission for a wine whose Italian maker is undisclosed.

Reviews record DOC/DOCG designations, vintages, and ~11% ABV but identify no producing winery or bottler; the Prosecco Rose is DOC, the Asolo and Valdobbiadene bottlings are DOCG.

COLAs for imported wine identify the US importer/permittee (here Misa Imports or Ethica Wines), not the foreign crush winery; ttbonline.gov blocks automated queries, so a definitive COLA producer line was not resolvable without a manual browser lookup.

Coverage names only the US importers/distributors (Misa Imports, Ethica Wines) and repeats an unsourced 'cooperative of growers' description; no reliable source names the actual Italian producer.

No producer named. The November 2025 recall notice identifies F&F Fine Wines International, Inc., trading as Ethica Wines of Miami, Florida, as the recalling firm and importer of the Kirkland Signature Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG (item 1879870, UPC 196633883742, about 941,400 bottles), records the wine as made in Italy, and lists Costco as distributor. An importer is not the producer, and the notice names no Italian winery. Ethica's own Valdobbiadene pages cover the estates it imports under their own labels, among them Nino Franco and BiancaVigna, but none of them connects a cantina to the Kirkland bottling.

Not retrievable, and limited even when it loads. The registry's public search would not open for us on 2026-10-05. For imported wine a label approval names the US importer holding the permit — here Ethica Wines or Misa Imports — rather than the foreign cantina that made the wine, so this registry route would not name a producer for this bottling in any case.

Describes the wine as a private label made specifically for Costco and 'non riconducibile ai marchi storici veneti' — not traceable to the established Veneto houses — and names only F&F Fine Wines International as the bottler of record and Ethica Wines as its US distributor. The Italian coverage closest to these producers treats the maker as undisclosed.
