La Marca Prosecco is Not Vegan Friendly

Company email (January 2023)
"During the winemaking process the wine is filtered with fining agents. These are recognized as traditional methods for wine fining and clarifying. Many of these fining agents are derived from animals, some include: Milk, Fish, Eggs, Gelatin (Beef and/or Pork). Generally, none of these products remain in the wine because they are removed by filtration prior to bottling."

Note from Angela (April 2014):
"Hello, I was looking on the website for a certain brand of prosecco and I could not find it. So I called the company to ask if it was vegan and it is not. The brand is La Marca Prosecco and it is filtered with a gelatin that is beef derived. "
