Spotlight on Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene with Sarah Abbott MW

Looking Into Wine

The historical area between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in Veneto, has been promoted to Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene to DOCG in 2010.
After a decade on the making, Valdobbiadene is setting itself apart from the wider Prosecco Doc produced in Both Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The Conegliano Valdobbiadene has many factors that are unique to the region for one there is increasing interest in the Valdobbiadene terroir and landscape, awarded Unesco World Heritage status in 2019.
In this episode with Sarah Abbot Master of Wine, we define what they are, with a great interest on the soils and hills.
In another innovation, for Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG, changes to the regulations in 2019 now allow for a new style of extra brut
Also, we talked about the innovations, such as Classic Method and Prosecco col Fondo and the ban of Glyphosate pesticide usage in the region and Sarah thoroughly explains the rather convoluted labelling system - Lastly, I asked to Sarah what else is she seeing happening in the region?
