Prosecco Plans Controlled Growth While Other Italian Regions Cut Production

WineNews reports that the three Prosecco consortia are considering a carefully managed increase in available supply, contrasting with yield reductions, planting restrictions and possible crisis distillation elsewhere in Italy. Proposed measures include administrative storage, releasing reserves from the 2025 harvest, permitting 2,000 additional hectares to produce wine eligible for Prosecco DOC and authorising another 180 hectares for Asolo Prosecco. Industry representatives stressed that expansion must preserve prices, vineyard profitability and the distinct identities of Prosecco DOC, Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG and Asolo Prosecco DOCG.
