Prosecco

Prosecco is the embodiment of Italian dolce vita. This Italian sparkling wine has deep roots in the Venice region, where it was originally produced. The origins of prosecco date back to ancient times, where the Romans were already growing grapes in the Venice region to produce wine. However, it was in the 19th century that prosecco production began to gain momentum through the use of the Charmat method, a fermentation method that allows sparkling wines to be produced on a large scale.

Today, prosecco is one of the most popular sparkling wines around the world, and it's no wonder. With its light bubbles and fruity taste, it is the ideal wine for aperitifs, parties and celebrations. So why not succumb to temptation and explore the origins of this unique wine in taste and history?

The charmat method, also known as the Italian method, is a sparkling wine production technique invented by Federico Martinotti. Unlike the Champagne method which involves a second fermentation in the bottle, the Charmat method uses large stainless steel tanks to take the foam. This method is very common for the production of Prosecco and other Italian sparkling wines, as it allows for faster and larger scale production while retaining the freshness and aroma of the grapes. It is a method appreciated by fans of sparkling wines for its lightness, finesse and liveliness on the palate.
