About Prosecco
Prosecco is the light sparkling wine produced in Italy's Veneto region (about 30 miles from Venice). It is made from Prosecco (Glera) grapes, which are hand-harvested and gently pressed in special stainless steel tanks so that only the free-run juice from the heart of the grape is extracted.
Vinification occurs over just 15 to 20 days in stainless steel vats where the juice is kept at a constant cold temperature. Sparkling Prosecco is produced using the Charmat method, which preserves the fruit and freshness of the wine. It contains no added CO2.
From this process several types of Prosecco are created. Prosecco is recognizable by its light straw colour and delicate fruity aroma and flavour.
Prosecco has for many years enjoyed great popularity as an aperitif in its home country Italy. Its appeal as a quality sparkling wine has now spread to most parts of the world, with explosive growth in restaurants, bars, pubs and at events. Prosecco DOC is available under the Frizzenti brand name in 75cl bottles.
Vino Frizzante
"Vino Frizzante" simply means "Lightly Sparkling Wine" in Italian. Thanks to its refined taste and delicate bubble, it is easier to drink than a Spumante (strongly sparkling wine) such as Champagne or Cava.
Vino Frizzante draws interest from traditional wine, beer and champagne lovers alike. Its smooth taste makes it the perfect drink to enjoy as an aperitif, with a meal, pure or as a cocktail.

Disclaimer: Please note that in 2009 the name of the Prosecco grape was changed to Glera. "Prosecco" is now a protected designation of origin and can only refer to wines produced in that region.
