Go beyond Venice! There are so many things to see and to do.
Right, I know... I really love Venice, but sometimes is just impossible to be there, especially in San Marco or Rialto, too crowded. So, if you need to breath some fresh air and drink some bubbles, this is the right place to come, Venetian hills, 50 kilometres far from Venice, the territory that starts from the place where I took the picture above, Valdobbiandene, Prosecco's land! Large wineries, but also small businesses that create products of great quality. The tourism for these companies is beginning to be necessary, and many of them have started or already begun to expand the hospitality industry in their cellars, offering tours in the vineyard. The emergence of new markets is increasing the export, but also on same the tourists incoming.In these terms, the proposal of the food and wine as a short-break vacation, which now is becoming more and more a general tendency, results to be particularly successful.
Have you ever tried a glass of Prosecco? This white sparkling wine is a religion for us. The grape grow on hard slopes, the vintage is done by hand, this wine is made of hard work and passion.
The Prosecco is a grape on which often ambiguous, as it is neither a sparkling wine or a wine only dry. On the label there is the term 'Prosecco' because by law is at least 85% of this variety which is often associated with a grape similar, the verdiso. The wine is easy drinkability and absolute disengagement, most of the times sparkling with the Charmat method but is also found in version quiet for local consumption (alcohol 10 to 10.5%).
Decanting or "scaraffatura" is a Venetian tradition due to the fact that the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation while in the bottle and the yeast lees form. The term OMBRA which means "shadow of wine" is typically Venetian because the wine was sold on carts in St. Mark's Square and traders moved inside the square to remain in the shadow of the steeple.
Within this DOCG there is a sub top zone of CARTIZZE, an area best suited where a prosecco released more residual sugar. Someone produces it brut or dry but there is also the most popular version is the extra-dry. It 's more sweet than a regular prosecco and can be safely combined with sweet or served as an aperitif.
