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.

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.

Prosecco On-Premise Training Guide
Prosecco on-premise training guide Prosecco is among Italy's largest wine categories and is recognized and well-loved by consumers around the world. With sales growth rates outpacing Champagne, Prosecco is an important wine to understand and include in your beverage program. This guide offers an opportunity for you to dig deeper into the region and discover how the local terroir (i.e., all of the vineyard and cellar factors that shape how a wine tastes) and winemaking techniques make different styles of Prosecco. This knowledge will help you develop a dialogue with your guests to build trust and confidence. Prosecco is the ultimate in affordable luxury, but there is more to Prosecco than brunch bubbles! 1 How is Prosecco made? While it’s often compared to Champagne, Prosecco is made using a different process where the bubbles are created in a pressurized tank rather than an individual bottle (the latter is the production method used in Champagne). The process goes by several names including Tank Method or Charmat Method, but Italians refer to it as the Martinotti Method. Italian Federico Martinotti developed and patented this sparkling wine method in 1895, but that design was improved upon by Frenchman Eugène Charmat in 1907, and the Charmat name stuck. Are all Proseccos sparkling? The vast majority of Prosecco is spumante (fully sparkling), but a tiny slice of production is made as a frizzante (a fizzy style with about 1-2.5 bars of pressure) and a tranquillo(still) version. The benefits of using the tank method are that it preserves the youthful fruity flavors (perfect for the aromatic Glera grape) whereas the traditional method used in Champagne and Franciacorta (frahn cha COR tah) produces more of a savory yeasty character in the wines.
