I believe the answer is:

prosecco

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drink from italy' is the definition.
'prosecco' can be an answer for 'drink' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'from italy' bit.

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for prosecco that I've seen before include "white wine" , "drink" , "Sparkling wine from Italy" , "Italian bubbly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
