WHERE THE MAGIC IS BORN
The Prosecco route
Un viaggio attraverso le terre di origine dell’etichetta: la nuova Strada del Prosecco e Vini dei Colli Conegliano Valdobbiadene, paesaggio di rigogliosi vigneti nel sud est della Marca Trevigiana.
A trip through the countryside where Prosecco was born: the new route of the Prosecco wines and of the wines of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills, a landscape of flourishing vineyards in the south-east of the Marca Trevigiana.
Established in 2003, the Prosecco route is heir to what was the first Italian oenologic route in the distant 1966.
It is a 120-kilometre route winding its way from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene, along the original route adding a new fragrance and value to the whole area, to its varied vine-growing landscapes and attractions.
A long route filled with this age-old art mixed to its rural history. The landscape is rich of splendid grapevines, mainly Glera grapes, in long bunches of golden grapes, which make up 85% of the grapes used in the production of Prosecco.
