Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG

Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG

Asolo Prosecco DOCG was created in 2009, and also officially known as Colli Asolani until 2014. 

The Colli Asolani (the hilly area of northern central Veneto in which Asolo Prosecco is made) run in a neatly defined ridge from northeast to southwest between the towns of Cornuda and Asolo itself. Along this 8-kilometer (5-mile) spine, the hills undulate gently, their peaks rising to a maximum of about 450 meters (1500ft).

The finest vineyard sites lie on the southern side of the hills, on sunny south-facing slopes, whose gentle gradient and loose soils offer excellent drainage. They are interspersed with orchards, vegetable crops and the wooded areas that reach up in finger-like valleys to the ridge summit.

The Prosecco name underwent several significant administrative changes in 2009 and 2010, with the creation not only of a broad Prosecco DOC but also of the Asolo Prosecco/Colli Asolani title and the promotion of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene to DOCG status.

At the same time, the name of the Prosecco grape became legally protected and may now only be used within the Prosecco zone. Sparkling wines made under other DOCs are now required to refer to it by the variety's ancient name, Glera.
