Italian grape variety · White · Indigenous
Glera is the white grape of Prosecco: aromatic yet delicate, the basis of the most exported Italian sparkling wine in the world, produced in the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
Glera (formerly called "Prosecco") is the native grape of Prosecco DOC and Prosecco di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG. Since 2009 the name "Prosecco" has become a protected denomination, and the grape was officially renamed Glera.
Grown on the UNESCO hills of Treviso and Friuli, it gives aromatic grapes of good acidity and delicate aromas of green apple, pear and white flowers. Vinified with the Charmat (Martinotti) method in pressure tanks, it produces fresh, immediate sparkling wines.
