Wine is one of the products that could benefit of a scientific system of analysis able to define its production area. Features of the association between wine and territory are not only related to pedological but also to geographical aspects. Currently, several studies to define markers, such as isotopic ratios of O, C, and N, able to identify types of wine has been carried out, but they are not suitable to univocally define a specific type of wine in particular due to the high variability of some factors (temperature, age of the vineyard, period of such us isotopic…).

  • CONEGLIANO VALDOBBIADENE PROSECCO SUPERIORE DOCG “Wine List”
    CONEGLIANO VALDOBBIADENE PROSECCO SUPERIORE DOCG “wine list” VINEXPO 2019 Hall 1 Stand CD 75 Prosecco is a white Italian wine with lively elegance and fruity and floral fragrances. Its story began in a small hilly area in North-East Italy, 50 km from Venice and around 100 from the Dolomites. The Conegliano Valdobbiadene production area covers 15 communes and represents the heart of the world of Prosecco. Here, for over three centuries, people have grown the grapes that produce this wine, whose success began with the founding of Italy’s first School of Winemaking in 1876. The iconic Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore is the sparkling wine which, thanks to its informal yet refined character, has created a new style of drink. ITALIA VENETO Asolo Treviso Venezia www.prosecco.it There are two versions of Prosecco Superiore that aim to highlight the zone’s territorial differences; represent the “crus” of the Denomination and the apex of the quality pyramid: the Rive and Superiore di Cartizze. Superiore di Cartizze The golden-hued wine that expresses absolute top quality within the denomination, Superiore di Cartizze comes from a sub-zone that has had its own specific regulations since 1969. It covers just 108 hectares of vineyards, in the shape of a pentagon, lying amidst the steepest hillsides of San Pietro di Barbozza, Santo Stefano and Saccol, in the commune of Valdobbiadene. The combination of a mild microclimate and very ancient soils, made up of moraines, sandstone and clays, give these wines unique characteristics. Valdobbiadene DOCG Superiore di Cartizze Hall stand 01 Colesel Cartizze Brut / / 02 Ruggeri Cartizze Brut / / Rive The term “Riva” indicates, in the local way of speaking, the slopes of the steep hills that are characteristic of the zone.
