Prego Nero is a Prosecco Brut from the Veneto region of northeast Italy, where the Glera grape has been turned into sparkling wine for centuries. This is the classic, everyday Prosecco: bright, dry and meant to be drunk young.
- Glera, the grape behind every Prosecco.
- Brut, the dry style, with little residual sugar.
- From the Veneto, north of Venice.
How it is made
Prosecco gets its fizz from the Charmat method, where the second fermentation happens in large stainless steel tanks rather than in the bottle. That keeps the wine fresh and fruity, and it is why Prosecco is meant to be opened within a year or two of the vintage.
How it tastes
Light and crisp, with green apple and honeysuckle on the nose and a clean, dry finish. The bubbles are soft rather than aggressive, which is what makes Prosecco so easy to drink.
Good to know
Prosecco only became a DOC appellation in 2009, and the rules are strict about where Glera can be grown. The best vineyards sit on the steep limestone hills between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, where the grapes keep their acidity and perfume.
Contains sulphites.
