National Prosecco Day 13th August

Posted by on 13 August 2018 | Comments

Happy National Prosecco Day.  A sparkling wine, Prosecco is made from a variety of grapes. One of the oldest is the Glera, but Prosecco can also be made from Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. Primarily grown and bottled in the Veneto region of Italy with persistent bubbles giving it the sparkle that makes Prosecco so appealing for celebrations. Along with that touch of sweetness (usually dry), light-bodied, refreshing aromas and flavours of white spring flowers, citrus fruits and green apples Prosecco exudes an easygoing sense of fun, occasion, and everyday celebration.
