The Legend: Millesimato means “vintage”. It helps discern a degree of quality & purity in wines. As most sparkling wines are NV (non-vintage), to be classified as a Millesimato, a prosecco must meet strict EU standards, including containing at least 85 percent of the vintage that is stated on the label.
