Prosecco is a protected Italian sparkling wine primarily produced from the Glera grape in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions using the 'tank method' to preserve fresh, floral aromatics.
Unlike Champagne, which undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, Prosecco is fermented in large steel tanks; this process limits contact with yeast sediment (lees), resulting in a lighter, fruitier profile with fewer complex amino acids.
One clinical study found that moderate consumption of sparkling wine may acutely improve vascular function by increasing nitric oxide availability, which helps blood vessels relax.
The sugar content in Prosecco varies significantly by label: 'Brut' is the driest style, while 'Extra Dry' and 'Dry' actually contain progressively higher levels of residual sugar per glass.

Viticulture involves significant water use and pesticide application in intensive regions.
The name 'Prosecco' was originally the name of the grape, but it was legally changed to 'Glera' in 2009 to protect the wine's geographical status and prevent other regions from using the name.
