HOW TO MAKE
A BOTTLE
Bottle making begins with the hot-end processes, which employs high
Photography DAVIDE CALAFÀ amounts of heat to produce and shape the bottle, and end with cold-
end processes such as quality-control and packaging.
How is a bottle of Prosecco made? In Empoli we take a close look at the making of ‘Glera’, the new bottle of
Prosecco DOCG Santa Margherita. At the manufacturing plant of the Zignago Vetro Group a timeless rit-
ual takes place, one that is key to the creation of any great wine. Zignago Vetro and its technology deliver the
highest results in terms of artisan quality combined with flexibility and an emphasis on Research and Devel-
opment, always striving to optimize the manufacturing processes. The company is also careful to minimize
its environmental impact by constantly monitoring energy consumption and workplace quality standards.
