Glera

Glera is an ancient white grape variety originating from the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, primarily known as the main grape in Prosecco production. It produces light-bodied, aromatic wines with crisp acidity and flavors of green apple, pear, white peach, and floral notes, thriving in the cool, hillside vineyards of the Veneto and Friuli regions. Most commonly, Glera is used to make sparkling wines through the tank method (Charmat), resulting in the fresh, fruit-forward Prosecco that has gained worldwide popularity.

Frico by Scarpetta Frizzante

Scarpetta

Frico Frizzante is the bubbly embodiment of the Italian philosophy that sparkling wine isn't just for special occasions – it's for Tuesday lunch, Sunday brunch, and pretty much anytime you want to add a little fizz to your day. This light, playful sparkler brings the joy without the Champagne price tag. Created by the Scarpetta team (Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and chef Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson), Frico Frizzante is designed for casual enjoyment rather than solemn contemplation. It's the kind of wine that makes everyday moments feel a bit more special – whether you're toasting with friends or just treating yourself after surviving another Monday. The convenient crown cap closure is just another reminder that this wine is about fun, not fuss.
