Prosecco DOC is a sparkling wine produced in specific regions of northeastern Italy, primarily in Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The term "DOC" stands for "Denominazione di Origine Controllata," which means it is regulated to ensure quality and authenticity. Prosecco DOC is made primarily from the Glera grape and is known for its light, fruity flavors and refreshing bubbles. This wine is typically enjoyed young and is often served as an aperitif or paired with light dishes. Prosecco DOC can be found in various styles, including spumante (fully sparkling), frizzante (lightly sparkling), and tranquillo (still). Its popularity has grown worldwide, making it a favorite choice for celebrations and casual gatherings.
