Prosecco Valdobbiadene is a high-quality sparkling wine produced in the hilly area of Valdobbiadene, located in the Venetian Pre-Alps. This wine is made primarily from the Glera grape variety, which grows on the steep, well-exposed, sun-drenched slopes of the region, giving the wine a unique fruity and floral flavor.

Prosecco Valdobbiadene is appreciated worldwide for its freshness and lightness, making it an excellent choice to accompany aperitifs and light dishes. Its fame is also due to its thousand-year history, with documents attesting to wine production in the area as far back as the 17th century.

The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is the official designation for the wine, which is produced according to strict quality and winemaking standards. The hills of the production area, which stretch for about 20 kilometers between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019.

Valdobbiadene Prosecco can be served as an aperitif, accompanying hors d'oeuvres of cured meats and cheeses, or as a dessert wine, to be paired with fruit desserts or pastries. Because of its lightness and low alcohol content, it is also an excellent choice for those seeking an alternative to traditional red or white wine.
