Prosecco DOC is a white, Italian sparkling wine made with at least 85% Glera grapes and comes in four levels, from the driest to the sweetest: Brut, Extra Dry, Dry and Demi-Sec. It is very versatile; it can be consumed on its own or incorporated into cocktails. Real Italian Prosecco bottles are labelled with the acronyms DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) and DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita). These certifications are a guarantee of quality and authenticity.

PADOVA – HISTORICAL
The lands of Prosecco DOC are of ancient origin, dotted with castles and villas. Ancient populations redeemed wine culture as their own; however, legends prove that viticulture with cuttings brought from the Greeks was born in Padova. Cittadella has an ancient history but at the same time is a city where medieval architecture blends with modern construction. Just like Prosecco DOC, Padova has old traditions but is extremely contemporary!

According to tradition, the origin of Padova is legendary and noble: it was founded in 1185 BC. by the mythological figure of Antenore, who went up the Brenta river searching of a new home after escaping from Troy and drove the Euganei from this area, relegating them to the south, close to the volcanic hills that still bear their name. Due to its position in the center of a fertile plain, the proximity of the already thriving city of Atheste (now Este) and the geographical confluence of communication routes that unite north and south, east and west, the town soon became a prominent center productive and commercial, famous for horse breeding and wool processing.
Now Padova is a lively and active city of over 200,000 inhabitants, whit a steady flow of tourists that come not only for the artistic and cultural aspects but also to enjoy the typical life of northern Italians.
