About Prosecco

Many years ago a local wine was having difficulty in being recognised and so was re named in 1593 Prosecho, after the local village. In 1754 it was slightly alerted to Prosecco, and now that name remains as one of the world’s fastest growing trends in sparkling wine. The village lies in Northern Italy, the areas of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia-Giulia being now officially, as of 2008, designated DOC status, and they alone produce Prosecco. Prosecco is now the official wine name and the grape is called Glera.
