#4 WINE CHAMPIONSHIP

26 March 2009
The Prosecco Route
The Prosecco Route (33kms long) was the first wine route established in Italy and was opened on
10 November 1966. The route runs among hills covered in vineyards and charming villages where
there are old inns and small taverns. It also allows you to enjoy a landscape of rare beauty. The hills
have special geological features of morainal origin. The presence of the mountain chain protects
from the North-North-East cold winds, whereas in the South, the hills are always exposed to the
sun. The area under wine within the D.O.C. Prosecco area of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene is about
4300 hectares.
Primavera Prosecco Doc
Primavera Prosecco Doc is ready to welcome people who love tastes and colours of the Altamarca
Trevigiana.
The 2009 edition begins in February and ends in July from Valdobbiadene to Vittorio Veneto
passing through Conegliano, from the Pre-Alps to the sea with three meetings in Jesolo, Caorle
and Bibione.
Typical local products together with wines are the leaders of this festival that takes place in a
territory with ancient castles, abbeys and vineyards on hills and with beautiful sceneries.
The volunteers of the Pro Loco that organize the 17 Shows are happy to give hospitality to
many tourists and visitors to make them know all this territory treasure.
The wine shows in the small villages are the starting point to visit abbeys, castles, historical
centres, go for pleasant walks and to taste in wineries. People from here love their origins,
keeping their traditions and telling them to whom can understand and listen to them.
