What does the word Prosecco mean?
Prosecco is a small town in the province of Trieste, in the far north-east of the Italian peninsula.
Mention of grape cultivation here dates back to the middle of the 13th century.
It is certain that wine-growing was located on the sunny slopes down from Prosecco towards the sea, sheltered from the cold bora winds, where the marly-arenaceous soil, covered by the sea in ancient times, was favorable for the ripening of very special grapes.
