Prosecco

The story

The earliest documentation of Prosecco dates to 1772, when in Volume 7 of Il Giornale d'Italia Francesco Maria Malvolti praised the quality of the grapes and production methods used in the area. Over the years, the focus on wine among local producers has ensured high-quality bottlings with important recognitions awarded to Prosecco. Due to its versatility in pairings and the superb price-quality ratio, this wine’s reputation continues to rise, becoming an ambassador of Italian taste worldwide.
