Glera
Glera appears in 9 articles of hers, from 2023 to 2026.
In her words
Prosecco is an Italian sparkling wine made primarily from the Glera grape.
The addition of Pinot Nero to Glera gives rosé Prosecco a subtle berry note and slightly more structure than classic Prosecco.
But let’s be clear, it DOES NOT taste like Prosecco (even though it’s made from Glera grapes).
The vineyards are located on the steep hillsides that rise from the valley floor, and the combination of altitude and microclimate of the region makes it ideal for growing Glera grapes, the primary grape used in the production of Prosecco.
The grape used to make Prosecco is called Glera but was called 'Prosecco' until 2009.
The south-facing environment and the diurnal range of the area (difference between day and night temperatures) are the perfect conditions to keep the Glera grapes fresh.
