Out of over 750 million bottles of Prosecco each year a little over 100 of them is actually Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene DOCG. So what is the main difference? It is still produced with the Glera variety, the majority of it is a tank method sparkling usually brut -or the slightly sweeter version extra-dry- just like Prosecco DOC, but it must be produced with lower yields per hectare and it must come only from the specific area of Valdobbiadene.

Geometrically design vineyards rolling on smooth but very steep hills 50 km aways form Venice and 100 km from Cortina in the Dolomites. The soils of Conegliano Valdobbiadene are either former the raising of sea or lake beds marls and sandstone or the deeper clay based soils created by the glaciers of the Dolomites.
