Treviso
Treviso is a province in the Italian wine region of Veneto, one of the country's main winemaking areas, both in terms of quantity and quality of its wines.
Located in northeastern Italy, Treviso is the birthplace of a dry sparkling wine known worldwide as prosecco. Prosecco is a sparkling white wine made from the glera grape variety, which gives it an exquisite aroma.
Unlike its great competitor, champagne, which uses the champenoise method, prosecco wine employs the charmat or Italian method, in which the second fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks.
The production area of this internationally renowned Italian wine covers approximately 18,000 hectares of land, located in the hills of the province of Treviso, between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. This area is home to the two DOGC designations of the finest prosecco, featuring heroic viticulture in a landscape that is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The two DOGC designations are Asolo and Conegliano-Valdobbiadene. In this region of Treviso, prosecco is not the only wine produced. In the Asolo and Conegliano area, there is the DOCG Colli di Conegliano, where excellent white wines are made using manzoni bianco. Adjacent to Colli di Conegliano is the DOCG Torchiato di Fregona, which offers a version of white passito, and the DOGC Refrontolo, with a rounded red passito made from the marzemino grape variety. Also, in the same area is DOGC Colli Asolani, known for its balanced international red wines. If we move closer to Monte Montello, currently a DOCG, we can enjoy sensational red wines made from cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and cabernet franc.
As an anecdote, it is worth mentioning that, to this day, Treviso province is home to the historic Conegliano School of Enology, one of the most important wine study centers in the world.
