Cusine and wines of Conegliano and the province of Treviso

Conegliano stands out as the home to Prosecco wine; this region offers the ideal environmental conditions for vine growing.

Prosecco’s vineyards stem from this soil and are therefore stout and resistant with beautiful hazelnut-coloured vine shoots and large vivid green leaves turning to a golden yellow in autumn; grapes are round or ogive-shaped with a yellow colour and thin peel.

The production area of Prosecco stretches from Conegliano to Valdobbiadene.
Since 1969 the area, with its 3,500 vineyard-cultivated hectares, can boast the D.O.C. mark (mark of controlled origin); there are also other qualities of vinegrapes such as Bianchetta, Perera and Verdiso which can be added in small quantities to Prosecco according to the year and area of production so that the typical taste, aroma and fragrance are constantly obtained.

The beautiful Road of Prosecco wine, the very first in Italy, crosses the area of production.
It starts from Conegliano and stretches along the hilly land and soft plains scattered with small taverns and villages.
Along the road the visitors can enjoy the pleasure of tasting meals of the local cuisine accompanied with a glass of Prosecco.
