Italy's manufacturing clusters are well known: machine tools north of Milan, jewellery in Valenza Po, tiles in Sassuolo and many more. Less famous is the country's sparkling-wine cluster, the official "prosecco district" established in 2003 around the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, just north of Venice. Regional legislation recognising the cluster has brought public money to promote prosecco, a wine made mainly from the grape of the same name. Not that prosecco needs much help, judging by what has happened in recent years. Sales of the best prosecco, labelled Denominazione di Origine Controllata (doc), have doubled in the past 15 years, to reach about 50m bottles in 2007.

机译：意大利的制造业集群是众所周知的：米兰以北的机床，瓦伦扎波的珠宝，萨索洛的瓷砖等等。鲜为人知的是该国的波光粼粼的葡萄酒集群，该官方“普罗塞克区”于2003年在威尼斯以北的科内利亚诺（Conegliano）和瓦尔多比亚德（Valdobbiadene）城镇周围建立。承认该集群的区域立法为促进普罗塞克葡萄酒的发展带来了公共资金，普罗塞克葡萄酒主要由同名葡萄制成。从最近发生的情况来看，普罗塞克并不是需要太多帮助的。在过去的15年中，标有Denominazione di Origine Controllata（doc）的最佳普罗塞克酒的销量翻了一番，到2007年达到了5000万瓶。
