I'm sorry, I made a mistake; but in Italy it's not common to find a Prosecco
without sparkles (probably just only in the same area of production -or in
USA?).
When we speak about "Prosecco" we mean "Prosecco Cartizze" that is always
sparkling or "Prosecco di Conegliano and/or Valdobbiadene" that they are
prevalently sparkling.
