Prosecco Superiore: an excursion encompassing art, history and sparkling wine

When you takes a sip of Prosecco Superiore, you should close your eyes for a moment and let the imagination take over. Most likely, what you see first would be green hills full of vineyards, cultivated by local farmers over hundreds of years, the rise that leads from Valdobbiadene to Conegliano, an area of dazzling beauty, which produces a fragrant, elegant and refreshing sparkling wine.

Doisneau’s photos tell simple stories: people crossing the street, cars waiting at a traffic light, pigeons serenely cooing on statues that have languished over time.
