Over the past few years, Prosecco has taken the world by storm, becoming the fizzy drink of choice for many. It's no longer just champagne that holds the title of the go-to bubbly beverage; Prosecco has risen to the occasion, gracing our glasses and cocktails with its effervescence. But how did this delightful fizz come to be, and where does it originate?

The Birthplace of Prosecco

Prosecco, often associated with celebrations and good times, hails from Italy. The name itself is believed to have its roots in the small Italian village of Prosecco, nestled near Trieste. However, the true essence of Prosecco is crafted in a more extensive region, spanning nine provinces across the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of Italy.

This sparkling wine has a rich history intertwined with the Italian winemaking tradition, making it a beverage that encapsulates the spirit of Italy.

Prosecco in Bottles, Not Kegs

While you might come across Prosecco being dispensed from kegs or taps, true aficionados insist that it should only be served from bottles. This belief stems from a European law established in 2009, which unequivocally states that "Prosecco wine shall be marketed exclusively in traditional glass bottles."

Therefore, when you spot one of our vans pouring Fizz from a tap or pump, we refer to it as Fizz, even though it's precisely the same drink you find in our Prosecco bottles. It's a matter of tradition and regulation that keeps the Prosecco experience true to its roots.

The Charmat-Martinotti Method

Unlike its more expensive cousin, champagne, Prosecco is typically produced using the Charmat-Martinotti method. This approach involves conducting the secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks, making the production process more straightforward and cost-effective.

This method contributes to the signature effervescence and delightful taste that Prosecco enthusiasts adore. It's a reminder that great things can come from innovation and tradition working in harmony.

A High-Volume Production

Italy produces a staggering 150 million bottles of Prosecco each year, highlighting its immense popularity and global demand. In contrast to champagne, which benefits from aging, Prosecco is at its best when consumed young. Ideally, it should be enjoyed within three years of its vintage, although some high-quality Prosecco can be aged for up to seven years.

The key to Prosecco's appeal lies in its freshness and vibrancy, making it a sparkling choice for any occasion.
