Prosecco
Wine · PDO · 627 municipalities
Recognised as an EU PDO since 2009, the Prosecco DOC zone spans 627 municipalities across Veneto and neighbouring areas. This sparkling-focused denomination stands apart by allowing labels to reference the specific provinces of Treviso or Trieste, but only if harvesting, vinification, and bottling take place entirely within those boundaries. While the core grape remains Glera at a minimum of 85%, the denomination's unique spumante rosé sub-type enforces stricter quality limits than the standard still or frizzante versions. This rosé must contain 10% to 15% Pinot nero vinified red, capping this specific grape's yield at 13.5 tonnes per hectare compared to the standard 18.0 tonnes allowed for Glera.
