As official partner of the event, the Prosecco DOC Consortium has designed a special bottle ready to be uncorked on the podium with each victory! It is a way of associating, once again, the world of sport with Italian excellence and authenticity exemplified by Prosecco DOC.

In 2020 504 million bottles of Prosecco DOC were produced, 75% of which were sold abroad. There are three different types of Prosecco DOC: SpumanteFrizzante and Tranquillo. The production of Prosecco DOC Rosé began in October of 2020, exclusively in the Spumante type.
