Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG
The wines from Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG are Italy’s top-quality classification within the Prosecco category. It is located approximately 30 miles to the north of Venice and 63 miles to the south of the Dolomites within Treviso, the region of Treviso. Prosecco Superiore DOCG is defined as a small geographical area that covers 15 towns in the hills, bordered by municipalities like Conegliano towards the east and Valdobbiadene to the west.
Harvesting by hand and cultivating are carried out in the sloping hillsides that surround Conegliano Valdobbiadene. This is the place of birth of Prosecco, and while extremely labor-intensive, they also lead to the selection of high-quality grapes and an approach that is artisanal throughout. To be able to qualify as Prosecco Superiore, DOCG wine must have at least 15% Glera. Other varieties permitted are Verdiso, Perera, and Bianchetta Trevigiana. However, aromatic Glera is the area’s most famous. It is hardy and vigorous, with hazelnut-colored shoots. Glera creates large, wavy bunches of stunning golden-yellow grapes that stand out against the lush foliage of the green vine.
Vines have been cultivated in Conegliano since the earliest times. In 1876, Conegliano was the site of the first school of enology in Italy, which was a center of research and development. It fundamentally changed the way of winemaking in this region, as well as all of Italy, through the Italian method of making sparkling wine in autoclaves, which preserves and enhances the flavor of the native grape varieties. A Consortium of Conegliano Valdobbiadene producers was established in 1963 and played a key role in obtaining the initial Prosecco appellation in the year 1969. It was in 2009 that Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco received the honor of being upgraded to a DOCG, the highest Italian wine classification. Conegliano is home to the School of Enology and Research Center. It is regarded as the cultural capital of the area, and Valdobbiadene, due to its high altitude, incredibly steep hillsides, and twisted contours, is mostly devoted to the production of.
The majority (95 percent) of Conegliano Valdobbiadene’s Prosecco is Spumante (sparkling or foamy). It is also produced in Fizzy (Frizzante) wine or even an extremely still and rare version known as Tranquillo. It is available in three kinds of residual sugars: “DRY,” with 17-32 grams of sugar for a glass; the most sweet, “Extra-Dry,” ranges from 12-17 grams. Brut (0-12) will be the dryest category. The Brut Nature (also known as Zero Dossaggio Prosecco is under 3 grams of sugar residual, and Extra-Brut has less than 6. Although the majority of Prosecco is produced in an autoclave, the second fermentation inside the bottle is allowed according to guidelines of the DOCG guidelines, either through the traditional method of Col Fondo (in which the sediment remains within the bottles) as well as Metodo Classico with the deposit taken out.
Because of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene’s multifaceted geologic history, it is extremely diverse of terroir in the western and eastern parts of the zone and distinct parcels and subzones within the same region. In 2009, a sub-category dubbed RIVE was introduced and is a reference to the existence of a Prosecco composed of grapes grown in one of the 43 registered geographical regions. In order to be considered Rive, the grapes have a lower maximum yield, and the wine has to be vintage-dated. There is also the possibility of locating Prosecco DOCGs that are made from the grapes of one vineyard parcel.
Non-Vintage
A term usually used to describe champagne and Sparkling Wines, Non-vintage, also known as “NV” on a label, refers to a blend of wines from various years (years that harvest). To create Non-vintage Champagne generally, the harvest of the year (in terms of this year’s vintage) is the basis for the mix. The wines that are finished from prior vintages, also known as “vins de reserve,” are blended into approximately 10-50% of the overall volume to get the taste depth, body, and acidity that is required to achieve the house style. A small portion of Champagnes are produced out of a single wine from a single vintage.
There are some big-scale still wines that do not have a particular vintage. This is entirely dependent on the winemaker’s expectations for the quality and character of their final product.
