Conegliano Valdobbiadene - Prosecco
About the wine
Conegliano Valdobbiadene - Prosecco is the prestigious DOCG expression of the Glera grape, produced in the steep, hilly landscape of the Treviso province. Unlike the broader Prosecco DOC, this denomination is defined by its rigorous focus on quality, manual harvesting in challenging terrain, and a distinct terroir that imparts elegance and complexity. The wines are primarily sparkling (spumante), ranging from Extra Brut to Demi-Sec, and are celebrated for their vibrant, fruit-forward profile with notes of apple, pear, and white flowers. The denomination includes specialized sub-categories like 'Rive', which highlights specific hillside vineyards, and the renowned 'Superiore di Cartizze', a small, highly prized area known for its exceptional microclimate. Whether produced via the traditional Martinotti method or the ancestral 'sui lieviti' style, these wines represent the pinnacle of Italian sparkling wine production, balancing freshness with a sophisticated, harmonious structure.
