THE CONEGLIANO VALDOBBIADENE DOCG ZONE

Conegliano Valdobbiadene, which received DOCG status in 2009, is at the pinnacle of quality of Prosecco, a wine which is produced exclusively in the North East of Italy in the regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The home of Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG lies in the hilly area of the province of Treviso between the cities of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. The area lies between the Dolomite mountains and the Adriatic sea, a combination which is extremely beneficial to the climate. The land here is beautiful yet very difficult to cultivate and wine growers have had to win it over inch by inch, working their beloved vines by hand.
