Abstract
The earliest documentation concerning the cultivation of Prosecco variety in the Veneto region dates back to 1754, with Aureliano Acanti, and to 1773, with Cosimo Villafranchi, who stated that the grape came from the Carso Triestino area, where the Prosecco cultivars are still widely grown, under the name of Glera. The grape probably took its name from the commune of Prosecco, but towards the end of the 1700s and the beginning of the 1800s, Francesco Maria Malvolti and Giovanni Nardi noted the presence of the grape in the hills of Conegliano.
