Prosecco D.O.C.

Since the mid-thirteenth century, the toponym ‘Prosech’ or ‘Prosecum’, but also the more modern ‘Proseco’ has referred to a small town which borders the diocese of Trieste to the south east and the territory of Duino to the north. Glera is a white grape variety, a basic component of Prosecco. It has hazelnut-colored shoots and produces large, long bunches, with golden-yellow berries.
