PIRANI – Prosecco Premium DOC Rosè Extra Dry 20 cl

The Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine with a long history dating back several centuries. Its production is primarily concentrated in the regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy. The first documented traces of Prosecco date back to the 16th century when it was mainly produced as a still wine. However, it is in the 19th century that Prosecco begins to gain popularity as a sparkling wine. It was produced through natural fermentation in the bottle, a technique similar to that used in the production of champagne. In the 1960s, a faster and less expensive production method called the “Charmat method” was developed. This method involves a second fermentation in large stainless-steel tanks, allowing for increased production and wider distribution of Prosecco. This significantly contributed to the expansion and growing popularity of the wine.
