DEFINITION

Prosecco

Prosecco refers to the Italian DOC or DOCG sparkling white wine which is crafted primarily from Glera grapes in the regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia in Northeast Italy. It is produced using the Charmat (tank) method, typically light, fresh and fruit forward with apple, pear and citrus flavors. Prosecco ranges from brut (driest) to dry (sweetest) styles and it pairs well with seafood, prosciutto and brunch dishes.

Did you know? Not all Prosecco is bubbly! The rare still version is called tranquillo and it is usually consumed locally in Italy.
