Prosecco Valdobbiadene DOCG

The star ingredient of the famous Spritz, Prosecco is a true summer favourite. But have you heard of Prosecco Valdobbiadene? This prestigious Prosecco delights the palates of sparkling wine lovers across the globe. A must-have for festive occasions, this Italian gem originates from the lush green hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, in the Veneto region, where vines have been cultivated since ancient times. The proximity to the Republic of Venice played a major role in the rise of white wines from this area. Prosecco is first mentioned in the famous literary work ‘Il Roccolo Ditirambo’ by Aureliano Acanti. For several centuries, the reputation of this sparkling wine continued to grow.

In 1772, the Prosecco region was linked to Conegliano Valdobbiadene. However, it was not until the 1930s that the boundaries of the production area were defined. In 1969, Prosecco, produced in 15 municipalities between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, was granted DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) status. It was not until 2009 that Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore was granted DOCG status, a testament to its prestige and exceptional quality.

Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore is a sparkling wine with a diverse character. Thanks to its varying sugar content, it comes in a range of styles. At Vinatis, you can discover the many facets of Prosecco Valdobbiadene, which has something to suit every palate.

The most modern version, the Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Extra Brut, is characterised by its very dry profile, with a residual sugar content of between 0 and 6 g/l, which preserves the grapes’ lively fruitiness. It stands out for its intensity and great freshness on the palate.

The Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Brut is one of the best-known types. Its aromatic profile is dominated by intense citrus notes, aromas of white flowers and vegetal scents, intertwined with hints of bread crust. Characterised by a lively energy on the palate, this sparkling wine reveals a fine effervescence and a lingering aroma, thus prolonging the tasting experience.

A traditional style, the Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Extra Dry contains 12–17 g/l of residual sugar. With a brilliant straw-yellow colour, this wine reveals an elegant freshness on the nose. Its aromatic bouquet blends notes of white fruit (apple and pear) with citrus aromas, evolving into floral nuances. On the palate, this Prosecco Valdobbiadene combines a smooth texture with lively acidity.

Rarer than the previous styles, the Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Dry is the sweetest version, with 17 to 32 g/l of residual sugar. Behind its pale straw-yellow colour, it exudes a delicate, fruity aroma with notes of citrus, green apple and white peach. Elegant on the palate, this sparkling wine delights the taste buds with its savoury flavour, freshness and velvety texture.

When a Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG bears the designation ‘Millesimato’, it is made from the finest Glera grapes from a single vintage. This prestigious Prosecco captivates with its elegance and fine, lingering bubbles.

Some bottles of Prosecco Valdobbiadene bear the designation ‘Rive’, a sort of superior cru within the appellation. It refers to wines often produced from the steepest and most characteristic vineyards. The grapes are harvested from a single hamlet or municipality. The appellation has 43 Rive, including Rive di Colbertaldo and Rive di San Pietro di Barbozza. The quintessence of the Prosecco appellation, Cartizze is produced in a 107-hectare sub-zone characterised by a mild microclimate and ancient soils.
