Prosecco is one of the world's most famous Sparkling wines.
Light and fruity, tank-produced bubbles from Northern Italy have had a boom sale in recent years.
It has taken the role as an alternative to expensive Champagne and Spanish Cava.
The main grape in Prosecco is Glera.
Prosecco is produced in 9 different provinces in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The most important sub-region is Valdobbiandene. This region is considered to produce the best Proseccos. If you want quality, look for a Prosecco Superiore.
Italian Prosecco is made using the "Charmat" method.
This method is quicker and cheaper than the Champagne method.
With the Charmant method, acidic wine, yeast, and sugar is mixed into a large steel tank. The tank is sealed, the yeast consumes the sugar, while releasing bubbles that carbonate the wine.
