About Prosecco: The Prosecco grape originated during Roman times and is one of the oldest grapes in Italian history. Its origin and name can be traced back to the town of Prosecco in Trieste. Prosecco grapes are transformed into sparkling wine using the Charmat method in which stainless steel tanks and yeast are utilized to produce a natural second fermentation. The process takes approximately 60 days depending on acidity, residual sugar and pressure. The Charmat method allows Prosecco to preserve its original flavors and perfumes longer. Prosecco is traditionally a dry wine with hints of apple and citrus.
Prosecco received its first level of national recognition in 1969 when it was awarded a D.o.c, Denominazione di Origine Controllata. The D.o.c status protected a small area of production and ensured Prosecco a level of prestige in the Italian wine community. Prosecco’s popularity has increased rapidly over the last ten years, particularly in Europe and the United States.
