Prosecco Country

Prosecco wine is grown between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene near Treviso, north of Venice, on the edge of the Dolomites.

Wine has been grown in this region since Roman times. The Venetians controlled the area for hundreds of years as well.

Unlike Champagne, secondary fermentation of Prosecco usually occurs in a separate vessel.

Gregoletto Winery, near Conegliano, is over 400 years old.

The best Prosecco is produced on small plots of land in the hills. This is the view from Ca' Salina, our favorite winery, near Valdobbiadene.
