The story begins in Conegliano Valdobbiadene, a hilly area in the North East of Italy, 50 km from Venice and about 100 from the Dolomites. Here for more than three centuries the grapes that give rise to Prosecco Superiore have been grown, whose success begins with the foundation of the first Italian Enological School, in 1876. The production area, which extends over 15 municipalities and represents the the heart of the world of Prosecco, it is a historical Italian denomination recognized in 1969. In 2009, with the reorganization of the Prosecco denominations, the Ministry of Agriculture classified it as Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (DOCG), the highest Italian quality level. It is flanked by the DOCG Asolo and the DOC Prosecco, extended over 9 provinces of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, created to protect the wine heritage of Prosecco and protect it in the world.
