In 2019, the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene were officially recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This designation goes beyond scenic beauty; it celebrates a centuries-old relationship between people and land.

A Legacy in Stone and Vine: Exploring the UNESCO Hills of Combai

The landscape is defined by steep slopes, natural terraces, and narrow vineyard rows carved into the hills over generations. These conditions prevent mechanisation, meaning vines must be cultivated and harvested by hand. This form of farming, often referred to as heroic viticulture, is demanding but essential to preserving the integrity of the land.

What makes this territory unique is its inability to be replicated. The combination of soil composition, altitude, exposure, and traditional practices creates Prosecco with finesse, minerality, and structure.

For producers working within this protected area, sustainability is not optional, it is a responsibility. Every decision, from vineyard management to harvesting, must respect both the ecosystem and the cultural heritage of the region.
