Historically, the region has always had a strong tradition of producing sparkling wines – it’s in the north of Italy, they don’t get as much heat as many regions, and the climate and soil is well suited to these grapes and this style of wine making.

Prosecco is a lively, dry sparkling wine, with relatively low alcohol at 11%, which hit the UK market about 8 years ago – partly championed by M&S, who first made the general wine drinking public aware of its charm, accessibility and affordability. A Premier Estates Prosecco is made in North Eastern Italy, specifically in the town of Vazzola which is in the heart of the Veneto region. This particularly beautiful part of Italy has many amazing vineyards which are famous for producing truly wonderful grapes. The varying terrain means that the grapes have quite different characteristics depending upon the geographical height at which they were grown. Prosecco is both a grape variety, and a wine region, in northern Italy. Over recent years, it has become known as the definitive brand name for Italian sparkling wine, arguably the most successful wine launch in recent years. Where Cava reigned supreme for the last 15 years, as the affordable alternative to Champagne, Prosecco has now taken over that mantle. A Let’s be clear here, Prosecco is most certainly not a “cheap alternative” to Champagne. It’s an entirely different wine which is not as costly to produce as Champagne. It’s as simple as that.

Dry - funnily enough, it's the least dry variety here! It can contain up to 32 grams of sugar residue per litre. This type of Prosecco is very peachy and mellow, but also much harder to find. The lower alcohol level is one of the factors in its recent rise to fame, as wine drinkers look for slightly lighter, yet still flavoursome styles. Frizzante - has less bubbles and they don't last for long after serving due to the short second fermentation process. It's still very popular, making up around 39% of all production.
