History and Production of Prosecco
The origins of Prosecco wine can be traced back to the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of northeast Italy. Prosecco grapes, known locally as Glera, have been cultivated in this area for centuries, with the first recorded mention dating back to the 16th century. Over time, the production methods have evolved, but the core principles of crafting this distinctive sparkling wine remain rooted in tradition.
Prosecco is typically produced using the Charmat or tank method, which involves a secondary fermentation in steel tanks. The wine is known for its crisp, light, and refreshing character, with delicate flavors of green apple, citrus, and white flowers.
Prosecco must be made from at least 85% Glera grapes, though other local varieties may be used in small percentages.
The Prosecco region is divided into two main zones, Prosecco DOC and Prosecco DOCG, each with its own specific production regulations. The Prosecco DOCG designation, which covers the historic Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area, is considered the most prestigious and quality-focused.
