Another screen image also noted that at the beginning of the 16th century \u201cPietro Bonomo studied Pliny\u2019s Naturalis History (23 &#8211; 79 CE) &amp; found the mention of a \u201cPucin\u201d wine, the ancient Prosecco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, in 1754, \u2018Prosecco\u2019 was noted as being produced in Friuli Giulia and Veneto. However it was in the 1800s that Professor Antonio Carpen\u00e9 and Professor Tullio De Rosa created a Prosecco sparkling wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than a century later, in 2009, Prosecco DOC was recognized.
