Conegliano Valdobbiadene - Prosecco
Wine · PDO · 15 municipalities
Established as a protected designation in 1973, the Conegliano Valdobbiadene - Prosecco DOCG spans fifteen Veneto municipalities, including Farra di Soligo and Miane. To set itself apart from other regional sparkling wines, this denomination enforces rigorous sub-category rules. For instance, 'Rive' designated wines restrict yields to 13 tonnes per hectare and mandate hand harvesting. Additionally, the 'sui lieviti' style requires a minimum of 90 days on the lees and is restricted exclusively to Brut Nature. These specific standards yield a straw-yellow wine with a characteristic, lightly fruity aroma and a dry to medium-sweet, pleasantly bitterish, and appropriately sapid finish.
