The Prosecco Hills
Prosecco, a heritage of culture and beauty
The Prosecco Hills UNESCO World Heritage Site
There are two DOCGs of Prosecco: Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG (Asolo and Montello) and Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG (Valdobbiadene and Conegliano).
The splendid Colli Asolani and Colline del Montello offer a generally more structured wine, often with mineral and dry notes. The fantastic landscape that surrounds us is a succession of rolling hills, tidy vineyards, Venetian villas, and wide, harmonious panoramas.
Enchanting landscapes, such as those of the Prosecco hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, are just over half an hour’s drive from Barone d’Asolo, recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Here, among neat rows of vines gently climbing the slopes and ancient villages perched on the hills, viticulture shaped by man over the centuries dialogues harmoniously with nature.
They are vibrant landscapes, changing with the seasons: gold and red in autumn, bright green in summer, light mists in spring. Both are perfect for exploring by car, bicycle, or on leisurely strolls through vineyards, ancient parish churches, and wineries where every raised glass has the scent of the region.
On the Prosecco road
The Prosecco and Conegliano Valdobbiadene Hills Wine Route is Italy’s premier wine trail, and exploring it is an experience that engages all the senses. It begins in Conegliano and travels for over 90 kilometers to Valdobbiadene, creating a winding path through vineyard-covered hills, Venetian villas, castles, and wineries where you can taste the famous Prosecco Superiore DOCG.
Along the way, the landscape changes constantly and tells the story of an ancient land, made of work, knowledge, and authentic beauty. Ideal for a day trip or a longer detour, if you love to explore the pleasures of good food.
