Appellation: Prosecco
Veneto · Italy
Climate data isn't shown for Prosecco because it spans several administrative areas with materially different climates (Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia) — the DOC spans nine provinces across two regions, from the Conegliano hills to the Friulian plain. A single value would misrepresent it.
- Tank-method sparkling wine (Glera)
Grapes of Prosecco
Italy's popular sparkling wine, made from the Glera grape by the tank method for a fresh, fruity style.
Prosecco is made principally from Glera, grown across a broad zone in Veneto and Friuli, with the finest wines coming from the steep hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene. Unlike Champagne's in-bottle fermentation, Prosecco's bubbles are created in pressurized tanks, a method that preserves the grape's fresh, floral, and orchard-fruit character.
The style is light, aromatic, and immediate — green apple, pear, and white blossom — meant to be enjoyed young rather than aged. It ranges from fully sparkling spumante to the gently fizzy frizzante.
Prosecco appears in one wine style. These foods pair with that style.
