white grape

Glera / Prosecco

Cool, gentle Veneto hills; DOCG Conegliano-Valdobbiadene excels.

Known as: Prosecco, Glera

Glera is the grape behind almost all Prosecco, Italy's beloved party sparkling wine. Grown on the Veneto's hills, it delivers bright green-apple fizz with a soft, friendly texture.

The finest examples - Prosecco Superiore DOCG - come from the steep hills of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene.

For the buyer, Glera's sparkle is all about pleasure: buy fragrance and freshness, served ice-cold.
