In the cradle of Prosecco between Venice and the Dolomites
A fascinating journey into the heart of the lands of the most famous Italian sparkling wine, Prosecco, among endless expanses of rolling hills “embroidered” by dense vineyards where grapes are harvested strictly by hand, handing over the art of heroic viticulture to the new generations. We are in the territory of the Alta Marca Trevigiana between San Pietro di Feletto, Tarzo and Cison di Valmarino, three of the 15 municipalities where the best quality of this golden nectar is produced, Prosecco Superiore. A wine that today, internationally, is synonymous with class and prestige, so much so that, on the day of his inauguration in the White House, the President of the United States, Barack Obama, toasted with a glass of Prosecco.
In this evocative setting, halfway between Venice and the Dolomites, the environment is so enchanting that it is a candidate for Unesco Heritage.
