Prosecco is an Italian DOC or DOCG white wine produced in a large area spanning nine provinces in the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions, and named after the village of Prosecco which is in the province of Trieste, Italy.

 

It is made from the Prosecco grape, but denomination rules allow up to 15% of the wine to be other permitted varieties.  Prosecco is almost always made in sparkling or semi-sparkling, but a still wine (Tranquillo) is also permitted.

 

Since 2020 the DOC rules allow a Rosé variety of Prosecco designated Spumante Rosé, which must contain Glera blended with 10–15% Pinot Noir.
