Glera is an Italian grape variety primarily cultivated in the Veneto region, specifically in the areas surrounding Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. While Glera can be used to produce still wines, it is most renowned for its role in crafting Prosecco, a sparkling wine celebrated for its fresh and fruity profile.
Prosecco typically exhibits bright acidity, a delicate effervescence, and a light, floral character. Though predominantly associated with Italy, Glera is also cultivated in other regions, including Slovenia and Australia, where it may be explored for diverse winemaking expressions.
Known for its light, fresh, and fruity character, Glera’s common tasting notes include green apple, pear, and citrus. It typically produces wines with high acidity and a crisp, refreshing mouthfeel. When used for making Prosecco, Glera wines are typically made in a sparkling or lightly sparkling (frizzante) style, offering a gentle effervescence and a light, easy-drinking profile.

Prosecco vs Champagne: Which is better?
Prosecco and Champagne, while both sparkling wines, possess distinct characteristics. Prosecco typically exhibits a lighter, fruitier profile and a more accessible price point, while Champagne is renowned for its complexity, yeasty notes, and fine bubbles. The preferred choice ultimately depends on individual preferences and the specific occasion.
Is Prosecco a dry or sweet wine?
The majority of Prosecco wine is produced in a dry style, categorised as "Brut." However, off-dry ("Extra Dry") and sweet ("Dry") styles are also available. So, if you prefer a touch of sweetness, be sure to check the label before you buy Prosecco online.

While Prosecco is often more affordable than Champagne, it's a distinct sparkling wine with its own unique character and production methods. Both wines have their own place in the world of bubbly, and both are worth exploring!
What is Prosecco’s alcohol content?
