Proseccos
Proseccos are sparkling wines produced in northeastern Italy, principally in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. They are predominantly made from the Glera grape. The name Prosecco derives from the wine’s historic home around the village of Prosecco, near Trieste. Prosecco is produced under two main designations: Prosecco DOC, which applies to a broad area in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and Prosecco Superiore DOCG, which covers the hilly subregions of Conegliano Valdobbiadene and Asolo. The Cartizze subzone within Conegliano Valdobbiadene is recognised as a particularly fine Prosecco.
Most Prosecco is produced by the Charmat (tank) method, which captures fresh fruit flavors and bright acidity.
Prosecco is commonly labelled with sweetness levels such as Brut, Extra Dry, and Dry, with Extra Dry
Prosecco is enjoyed as an aperitif and pairs with a wide range of foods, from light salads
