Prosecco DOC is unique in its origin and style. The Prosecco DOC area of production is located in territories falling within 4 provinces of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste and Udine) and 5 provinces of Veneto (Belluno, Padua, Treviso, Venice, Vicenza), one of the most beautiful territories in the whole of Italy. Vineyards are located on the sunny slopes running down from Prosecco towards the sea, sheltered from the cold winds of the Bora, where there is a marl-sandstone terrain, which, in ancient times was covered by the sea, making them conducive to the production of very particular grapes.

Prosecco DOC was born in an area with unique environmental conditions. If harvesting, wine-making and bottling all take place entirely within the provinces of Treviso and Trieste, the special titles Prosecco DOC Treviso and Prosecco DOC Trieste can be used, two provinces which have played a fundamental role in the history of Prosecco production.

Since the mid-thirteenth century the place name 'Prosech' or 'Prosecum', but also the more modern 'Proseco', referred to a small town, bordering to the south-east with the Bishopric of Trieste and to the north with the territory of Duino. Today Prosecco is still a small town in the Province of Trieste, in the extreme north-east of the Italian peninsula.

Good Prosecco is born, not made. The grapes used for making Prosecco DOC are primarily of the Glera white grape variety, native to North East Italy and renowned since Roman times. It has nut-brown vines and produces long, generous bunches of golden yellow grapes. Cultivation involves vertical training of the shoots and thinning as well as pinching and tying in order to create the perfect micro-climate to encourage aromatic substances to settle on the grapes. Traditionally, Glera may be combined with up to 15% Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio and Pinot nero grapes, vinified off the skins.
