Prosecco

Welcome back wine nerds! 

Have you ever been to a celebratory event, been handed a flute with wine in it, cheers-ed and then wondered, "Hmm, what is this?" Well then you have absolutely had the worlds most popular sparkling wine. Move over Champagne because today we are going to talk about the worlds most popular sparkling wine by volume - Prosecco. 

Who makes it? How do they make it and where? All explained. 

I relied pretty heavily on some amazing source materials for this one: 

The Oxford Companion to Wine by Jancis Robinson 

Wine Grapes by Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and Jose Vouillamoz

The World Atlas of Wine 8th Edition by Jancis Robinson 

Native Italian Wine Grapes by Ian D'Agata
