Per Britannica.com “Uniquely among Italy’s chief cities, Venice came into being after the fall of the Roman Empire in the West. The Lombard hordes, whose incursions into northern Italy began in ad 568, drove great numbers of mainlanders onto the islands of the lagoon, previously the homes of itinerant fishermen and salt workers.”
Per Venetoinside.com “Prosecco wine has origins that date back to the era of Ancient Rome. It was produced with the Glera grape, grown in the area where the Castello di Moncolano stood, also known as Torre di Prosecco, overlooking the Gulf of Trieste.”
Once
again I have no words for the beauty of this wine region!
Great Day Tour (Click link for details of the Tour)
Beautiful day to visit the Prosecco region of Italy. All Prosecco comes from north of Venice… we head out in van to the region. Only 8 of us and our guide Alissandra was a great tour guide.
We had a mom and her two grown kids from Cleveland Ohio, a young couple from Boston and a couple from UK. Great combination of people.
We visit a beautiful winery… La Vigna di Sarah!!!! Beautiful Place with amazing views
Once again I have no words for the beauty of this wine region! At this winery the owner was our guide! He had so much energy and was just so fun!
And the Prosecco…. “ Furget boutit “
Need
to ship some to London
Lovely
food spread as well.
I get attacked by a bee! Go figure!
Del Riz, we discover zero sugar fizzy wine… so good…. need to ship some home!
We learn that Dry means Sweet and Extra Dry means even sweeter. If you want lower sugar or not sweet Prosecco, you want Brut or Extra Brut
Quick stop at an old flour mill!
