The DOC Prosecco is a famous Italian appellation shared between the regions of Frioul and Veneto, both located in the northeast of Italy. Covering over 26,000 hectares of a single varietal (La Glera), this DOC sits at the base of the hierarchical pyramid of the region . It is indeed the equivalent of a regional French AOC and allows the production of the famous sparkling wine in more than 550 municipalities. At the top rungs are DOC Prosecco Treviso (95 municipalities), DOCG Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore (only 15 municipalities) and finally DOCG Prosecco Cartizze representing the highest level of classification and covering only 107 hectares. In addition, several types of Prosecco exist: Spumante, Frizzanteand Tranquillo . Prosecco spumante is a sparkling wine with a classic effervescence while Prosecco frizzante has finer and lighter bubbles. Finally, there are even still Proseccos, that is to say without any bubbles! The Prosecco Sacchetto offered here by La Cave Éclairée is a festive, fruity Spumante, very pleasant as an aperitif and ideal for making pretty Spritz!
