Valdobbiadene Millesimato Prosecco
Prosecco Millesimato Valdobbiadene is one of the most prestigious expressions of Prosecco Superiore DOCG, symbolizing an exceptional vintage and a territory that never ceases to amaze. Produced exclusively with grapes harvested in a single vintage, this sparkling wine encapsulates the identity of a season, transforming it into refined and authentic bubbles. The Valdobbiadene area, with its UNESCO World Heritage hills, is the beating heart of quality-conscious viticulture, where the exposure, soils, and microclimate favor the most elegant and intense expression of Glera.
The vintage is not simply a Prosecco like any other. It is the result of meticulous selection, longer production techniques that respect the aromatic potential of the grapes, and aging that enhances complexity without sacrificing freshness. For this reason, it is particularly appreciated in wine tasting, where it is recognized for its ability to accurately convey the uniqueness of the vintage and the hand of the producer.
From a sensory point of view, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Millesimato stands out for its bright color, fine and persistent perlage, and aromas ranging from ripe apple to white flowers, with citrus nuances and mineral notes. On the palate, it reveals a perfect balance between acidity and softness, accompanied by a pleasant structure that makes it ideal both as a classy aperitif and paired with delicate dishes such as fish carpaccio, herb risottos, fresh cheeses, and dry pastries.
In addition to its quality, what makes a vintage wine special is its symbolic value: each bottle is linked to a specific year, and each sip is a fragment of time. This also makes it perfect as a gift or to be saved for an important occasion. It is no coincidence that many enthusiasts consider it a sort of “liquid story” of a memorable vintage.

Visiting Wineries in Valdobbiadene
Vintage Sparkling Wines
Vintage sparkling wines are chosen by those who seek not only pleasure in wine, but also meaning. These products are only released onto the market when the vintage reaches high quality standards, and for this reason they bear the year of production on the label as a distinguishing feature. In the world of Prosecco, vintage wines have taken on an increasingly important role, because they combine the versatility of bubbles with a depth of flavor that satisfies even the most demanding palates.
In the case of Valdobbiadene vintage wines, refermentation takes place according to the long Martinotti method, with a longer than normal stay in the autoclave. This allows the sparkling wine to refine, developing a more elegant perlage and more complex aromas. The result is a fresh but also structured wine, with an olfactory profile that varies each year and reflects the seasonal trends, from rainfall to grape ripening.
In a wine tasting context, vintage wines lend themselves perfectly to comparisons between different vintages or production areas. Each bottle can reveal new details: the roundness of a warm vintage, the liveliness of a cool vintage, the aromatic concentration of drier harvests. This is why it is increasingly chosen by restaurateurs, sommeliers, and wine lovers who want to offer an experience that is different from the usual glass of wine.
The symbolic value of the vintage
A vintage Prosecco is not just a wine to be tasted: it is a declaration of faith in nature. Producers who decide to vintage a cuvée recognize the unique potential of that particular year and celebrate it with a label that also serves as a memory, a testimony, and a piece of history.
Wine Tasting
Wineries with Tastings
Discovering a vintage Prosecco in the land where it is produced is an experience that goes far beyond simply tasting it. The wineries with tasting in Valdobbiadene represent a meeting point between wine culture, family tradition, and authentic hospitality. As we explained in a previous article, visiting a winery means coming into direct contact with those who work every day among the rows of vines, learning about the production process up close, and understanding what makes a vintage wine truly special.
At our family business, wine tasting experiences are designed to offer a complete journey into the world of Prosecco Superiore. After a walk through the vineyards, visitors enter the winemaking areas, where the key stages of production are explained, from harvesting to secondary fermentation. This is followed by a guided tasting of several labels, including, of course, our Valdobbiadene DOCG millesimato, which is presented with pairings designed to enhance its nuances.
The tasting experience is designed to be engaging yet relaxed, with wine serving as a pretext for recounting the history of our family, the values that guide us, and the choices we make each year in the vineyard and in the cellar. It is precisely this combination of technical knowledge and emotional connection that makes a visit to the region’s wineries so special, where a passion for wine is conveyed with simplicity and transparency.
