Fasciano Organic Prosecco

Prosecco is not the name of the grape, but tells you where the wine is made. Sparkling wine can only be called Prosecco if it comes from Veneto, and is made of at least 85% Glera. Glera is the name of the grape, but just to make things confusing, it used to be called Prosecco. In 2009, the name Prosecco became reserved exclusively for wines covered by Italy's official Prosecco appellation titles, making it illegal for wine producers anywhere outside northeastern Italy to label their wines as "Prosecco".

Prosecco is produced either as frizzante (lightly fizzy) or spumante (fully sparkling). Prosecco is made using the 'charmat' method, which means that after fermentation, the wine is placed in stainless steel tanks, where it undergoes secondary fermentation. We love the resealable swing-top bottle, but this wine is so delicious, you probably won't have leftovers. We suggest enjoying at 8 C during the festive season, Prosecco is not intended to age.
