The Prosecco hills

The Prosecco hills had what it takes to make a rather ‘sparkling’ wish come true: to become a Unesco World Heritage Site. And, in fact, the confirmation arrived in 2019. Indeed, these heroic vines, which seem to fluctuate on the slopes thanks to grassy terraces called ‘ciglioni’, the result of human labour and effort, deserved this worldwide recognition. Although the name Prosecco comprises a variety of productive areas and slightly different wines, the real one – His Majesty Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore Docg – comes from these 6,500 hectares of land between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano.
