Types of Prosecco

There is the perfect bubble for every palate.

One soul, one land,and many undertones come together to make three types of Prosecco DOC.

With a floral and fruity aroma, and a fresh, light and lively taste, Prosecco DOC is the symbol of simple, refined drinking, intrinsically tied to the unmistakable Made in Italy lifestyle.

The grapes used for Prosecco DOC are primarily Glera, a typical variety grown in north-eastern Italy since Roman times. Glera is a type of white grape. Its branches are dark brown and yield a large quantity of straw-coloured grapes.

DEMI-SEC

when PDO Prosecco is produced with

secondary fermentation

PDO Prosecco Produced with secondary fermentation in the bottle is well worth a mention here; it is a traditional technique dating back to the late 1800s, where the wine is aged with the grape’s natural yeasts and a thin film forms on the surface, creating a smoother rounder flavour on the palate. When the wine undergoes this particular process, it will say “Secondary fermentation in the bottle” on the label.
