The Cuvée Collective Wine Word of the Week -  Prosecco

Prosecco is an Italian Sparkling wine. It hails from Northeast Italy, though its heartland is a small region in the Veneto called Conegliano Valdobbiadene. Many retailers now sell Prosecco for every occasion, from party-ready bottlings to companions for fine dining.
