Information
Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine that is known for its light, refreshing taste and delicate aromas of apple, pear, and citrus. It is made from the Glera grape variety, which is grown primarily in the Veneto region of northeastern Italy. Prosecco is typically produced using the Charmat method, in which the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, resulting in a crisp and effervescent final product. With its bright acidity and subtle sweetness, Prosecco is a perfect choice for celebrating special occasions or simply enjoying a glass with friends.
Fun facts
The name "Prosecco" is derived from the village of Prosecco near Trieste, where the grape variety used to make this bubbly delight has its origins, adding a touch of regional charm to every bottle
