National Prosecco Day

It is not surprising that a holiday was created in its honor, which can be by anyone anywhere in the world. What about you?

History

The holiday was founded by Riondo Prosecco. The date was not chosen by chance—the hot summer month is best suited for cozy evenings with loved ones over a glass of sparkling wine.

The wine is named after the village of Prosecco, which in turn takes its name from the grape variety of the same name. The first known mention of the drink dates back to 1593: even then, it was considered the most famous in the country.

Every year, technologies improve to ensure the final product pleases with an unforgettable taste.
