Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore
Conegliano Valdobbiadene is a wine region of extraordinary beauty located in the heart of the Veneto region, in north-eastern Italy. This area is famous the whole world over for its production of the well-known Prosecco Superiore wine, and in 2019 it was officially designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Conegliano Valdobbiadene area features a breathtaking hilly landscape, with vineyards that extend as far as the eye can see on the slopes of the rolling hills. The combination of a favourable climate, a soil rich in minerals and a wine growing tradition that goes back centuries has made this place the ideal terrain for the production of high quality Prosecco.
What makes the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area so very special is the traditional way in which the vines are grown, known as "heroic wine-growing". Due to the steepness of the terrain, the majority of the work in the vineyards must be carried out by hand, making the process extremely labour-intensive and demanding.
This artisanal commitment and the devotion to quality are evident in every sip of the Prosecco made in this region.
As well as the excellence of its wines, the Conegliano Valdobbiadene area offers visitors a vast range of cultural and food and drink experiences. The picturesque towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene are rich in history and culture, with ancient castles, Romanesque churches and fascinating museums that invite visitors to explore the region’s strong heritage.
