(firmenpresse) - Who doesnagne in 2013!
Fortunately, the Italian wine industry has continued to deliver: its 2015 and 2017 vintages are widely considered to be among the absolute best. While some may be content to pop down to the local supermarket for a bottle or two, I know a much better way for any wine lover to experience this very special bubbly in a more unique and intimate way: an Italian river cruise.
Early History
The history of Prosecco dates back centuries and there are many conflicting theories about its origin. The most likely one links it back to the times of the Roman Empire, though it only started to become widely famous in the 1750s. About a century later, Count Marco Giulio Balbi Valier managed to cultivate a grape he named Prosecco Balbi that helped the wine become even more prominent.

Prosecco and the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Region
Fizz has become increasingly popular in the UK in recent years, and it is easier than ever to pick up a bottle from your local supermarket. But do you know where it comes from?
Prosecco is produced in the province of Treviso, in picturesque north-eastern Italy. The grapes demand a particularly warm, temperate climate, which is exclusively found in the hills between the two towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. These two places have a very interesting relationship: Conegliano is known as the cultural heart of the area; it is home to the School of Enology and associated research stations. Valdobbiadene, on the other hand, holds the annual National Exhibition of Sparkling Wine and is the production centre.
