Glera is mainly grown in northern Italy especially in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions. It is the key grape used to produce Prosecco including the famous Prosecco DOC and the premium Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG areas.
Glera wines are known for fresh apple pear lemon and white flower flavours with lively acidity. Wines from Conegliano Valdobbiadene often show more complexity while those from Prosecco DOC are typically lighter and fruit driven.
Glera is the grape variety used to make Prosecco. The name Prosecco now refers to the protected wine regions in Veneto and Friuli while Glera is the official name of the grape used in both sparkling and still styles.
Glera pairs beautifully with Italian dishes from Veneto such as seafood risotto grilled prawns antipasti and light pasta. Its crisp acidity also works well with Asian cuisine sushi and salty snacks like olives and cured meats.
