Autumn in the Prosecco Hills Oct 15, 2021

Autumn in the Prosecco Hills

It"s fall here in the Prosecco Hills of northeastern Italy. We"re just outside Farra di Soligo, a village about 30 miles northwest of Venice. This region is known for growing the glera grape used to make the sparkling white wine called prosecco. Once considered a poor cousin to Champagne, prosecco now eclipses it in global popularity. More than 600 million bottles of prosecco were produced in Italy in 2018, about twice the amount of Champagne.
