Glera is the white grape variety primarily used to make Prosecco, originating from Italy. Known for its fresh and fruity profile, it is perfect for sparkling wine production.

Glera was historically called the Prosecco grape, but in 2009, the name was officially changed to protect the Prosecco designation. It is widely cultivated in Italy’s Veneto and Friuli regions, particularly within the Prosecco DOC and Prosecco Superiore DOCG zones.
