The Prosecco Journal: Insights into Heritage and Craftsmanship

Prosecco is often associated with aperitifs and special occasions, but its true strength lies in versatility. High-quality Prosecco, especially from hillside vineyards, is designed to accompany food.

Sustainability in Prosecco is often reduced to labels and buzzwords. In reality, true sustainability is reflected in daily practices, long before a bottle reaches the consumer.

Not all vineyards allow machinery. In certain parts of northern Italy, the slopes are so steep that tractors simply cannot operate. These vineyards require manual labour at every stage, pruning, harvesting, and transport.

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.

Prosecco is often spoken of as a single category, but not all Prosecco is the same. Understanding the difference between standard Prosecco and Prosecco Superiore DOCG is essential for anyone who values quality, origin, and craftsmanship.
