Tasting Notes
Nestled in the Alps' foothills, you'll find Prosecco's finest expression. These verdant rolling hills, covered in vines, produce the most intense and complex wines. So much so that the wine is called Prosecco Superiore.
Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG (its full name) is different from regular Prosecco.
Prosecco DOC grapes grow in a very large, flat area. This spans the provinces of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (over 89,000 acres or 36,000 ha). Whereas Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG is tiny, just 19 x 16 miles (30 x 25 km) across, only 21,500 acres (8710 ha), and very hilly.
