  • Our Sub-Regions: Prosecco DOC & DOCG
    OUR SUB-REGIONS PROSECCO DOC & DOCG OVERVIEW Italy's largest single category of wine is the wildly popular sparkling wine Prosecco. In a decade, Prosecco has gone from being a relatively minor wine on export markets to outselling Champagne (in volume, at least). Prosecco has entered that be-careful-what-you-wish-for territory of having consumers ask for it by name without necessarily realizing that they're asking for a specific Italian wine. Prosecco, like Champagne before it, is becoming a synonym for any sparkling wine. True Prosecco, however, comes only from three denominations in northeast Italy. Prosecco must be made from at least 85% Glera grapes, with the remainder coming from a short list of other varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, or Pinot Grigio. Most Prosecco is made by the tank method of sparkling wine production, though some uses the classic method of creating the bubbles in the individual bottles. Technically, Prosecco can be still or frizzante instead of fully sparkling, though those are a tiny fraction of production and rarely exported. As a sparkling wine, Prosecco is traditionally made as an extra dry, meaning that it has fairly low but noticeable sweetness. However, given today's general preference for drier wines, it is often made in the brut category with little or no detectable sweetness; it can be sweeter than extra dry, too. The production zone for Prosecco DOC two decades ago was confined to an area of steep hills in east-central Veneto between the cities of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in the province of Treviso.

For the occasion, Adami took the highly unusual step of bottling a single-vineyard wine - the first commercial example of a vineyard-specific Prosecco - producing the first vintage of the Adami "Vigneto Giardino" Valdobbiadene Prosecco. The Adami winery has continued to specialize in Prosecco production since that time. Abele's son vigneto giardino vineyard Adriano began acquiring additional vineyards to increase the winery's production volume and broaden its scope. As a result, Adami today owns land or has well-established relationships with growers in most of the prized areas of the original Prosecco zone - which since the expansion of the Prosecco area in 2009 has been given the elevated status of DOCG. In addition to the Giardino vineyard in the hamlet (or rive) of Colbertaldo, Adami now also bottles a single-vineyard Prosecco from Col Credas in the rive (communal cru) of Farra di Soligo and from the famous Cartizze subzone.

  • Prosecco Brut DOC
    Prosecco Brut DOC The Canella winery began in 1947 with Luciano Canella. His great interest in wine led him to work in his mother’s restaurant, where he was put in charge of food-and-wine pairings, igniting a great passion for wine in him. This “thirst” turned into a desire for his own label. He finally set up a modern winery and specialized in Prosecco and wine-based cocktails. As it turned out, the enterprising founder had the vision and foresight to invest in what would become the best-selling spumante in Italy. The winery is now run by Luciano’s children, Alessandra, Lorenzo, Nicoletta and Monica, as well as grandson Tommaso, who represents the third generation. Canella is located in the historic heart of the appellation – Conegliano – and the vineyards are located at the perfect altitude for gradual grape ripening, which leads to intense fragrance and perfect acidity. This dynamic city north of Treviso is also a national winemaking landmark, home to Italy’s most ancient winemaking school (Scuola Enologica di Conegliano, founded in 1876). From 100% Prosecco (Glera) grapes grown at various altitudes in the hills and high plains near Treviso, where the microclimate is mild and dry. Vinified using the Charmat method, this is an extremely appealing sparkler, presenting lively aromas and fruit. It has the ideal balance of acidity and sugar, making it pleasingly refreshing. Time spent on lees give it great concentration and intense flavors. Dry and persistent on the palate, it is a marvelous aperitif as well as an all-around wine. It is especially good with fish, poultry and mild cheese.

  • The Buyer & Mionetto Prosecco Study Tour
    The Buyer & Mionetto Prosecco Study Tour Discovering, assessing and analysing the role of premium Prosecco in the on-trade The Buyer & Mionetto Prosecco Study Tour Setting the Scene The extraordinary rise and continued growth of Prosecco over the last five years has been a phenomenal success story for the global wine industry, but particularly in the UK where it has become a drinks category all of its own, responsible for bringing a legion of new drinkers into the idea of drinking wine on a regular basis. The growth of Prosecco really takes your breath away. Sales volumes in the UK since 2008 have exploded by more than 6,000% and show no signs of slowing down. In 2016 the UK accounted for a third of the 410.9m bottles of Prosecco produced that year as we reached ‘Peak Prosecco’ status, according to the Constortium for the Protection of Prosecco. Whilst UK sales are starting to slow down - with more single digit year-on-year growth rather than double digit - the IWSR still sees the UK reaching 8.3m cases of Prosecco by 2022, out of total production of 34.4m cases, as more demand from the US and Asia sees more worldwide distribution for Prosecco. The IWSR/Vinexpo research predicts Prosecco will outgrow all other types of sparkling wine over the next five years, increasing by over 36%, from 25.2m cases to 34.4m cases (or 412.8m bottles), giving it a 9.2% share of the global sparkling wine market. In stark contrast its figures show Champagne only achieving 1% volume growth in that time, Cava remaining flat and Asti down by almost 6%.

  • What Makes Prosecco the Sparkling Wine of Choice for Thousands of Wine Drinkers Around the Globe?
    What makes Prosecco the sparkling wine of choice for thousands of wine drinkers around the globe? Sparkling wine becomes more popular every year but the star of the show this past decade has been without a doubt Prosecco. This quaffable fizz from the north of Trieste couldn’t be trendier right now. Often considered Champagnes cheaper Italian cousin, Prosecco has risen the ranks of popularity around the world thanks to its uncomplicated style and reasonable price-point. Hailing from the Veneto region of northern Italy, Prosecco has experienced a continuous rise in domestic and export sales in the last decade, finding popularity in five continents, with the British responsible for a third of all global consumption. An Ancient Wine Prosecco has been produced commercially since Ancient Roman times (when it was known as Puxinum wine), this sparkling wine is one of Italy's most successful exports. Prosecco was particularly well known during the Middle Ages. The wines of the Roman empire or 1100s would have tasted very different from what we enjoy today. Advanced winemaking technology and fermentation techniques have created the subtle, fruity fizz we know and love today. Everyday Luxury The Prosecco market is largely driven by female consumers. Women and wine are a wonderful combination. Wine is not meant to be drunk alone, and women love to socialize. Women tend to be the primary shoppers in today’s households, and since women are the ones that make the buying decisions, they drive wine trends too. Prosecco’s touch of opulence and luxury makes it the ideal bubbly for everyday drinking.

  • Prosecco On-Premise Training Guide
    Prosecco on-premise training guide Prosecco is among Italy's largest wine categories and is recognized and well-loved by consumers around the world. With sales growth rates outpacing Champagne, Prosecco is an important wine to understand and include in your beverage program. This guide offers an opportunity for you to dig deeper into the region and discover how the local terroir (i.e., all of the vineyard and cellar factors that shape how a wine tastes) and winemaking techniques make different styles of Prosecco. This knowledge will help you develop a dialogue with your guests to build trust and confidence. Prosecco is the ultimate in affordable luxury, but there is more to Prosecco than brunch bubbles! 1 How is Prosecco made? While it’s often compared to Champagne, Prosecco is made using a different process where the bubbles are created in a pressurized tank rather than an individual bottle (the latter is the production method used in Champagne). The process goes by several names including Tank Method or Charmat Method, but Italians refer to it as the Martinotti Method. Italian Federico Martinotti developed and patented this sparkling wine method in 1895, but that design was improved upon by Frenchman Eugène Charmat in 1907, and the Charmat name stuck. Are all Proseccos sparkling? The vast majority of Prosecco is spumante (fully sparkling), but a tiny slice of production is made as a frizzante (a fizzy style with about 1-2.5 bars of pressure) and a tranquillo(still) version. The benefits of using the tank method are that it preserves the youthful fruity flavors (perfect for the aromatic Glera grape) whereas the traditional method used in Champagne and Franciacorta (frahn cha COR tah) produces more of a savory yeasty character in the wines.
