Our journey begins with a few geographical coordinates, for us to better navigate within the area where Prosecco is produced. The map uses different colours to delimit different areas: the historical Conegliano Valdobbiadene area, together with the smaller Asolani hills one, is the cradle of controlled and guaranteed origin Prosecco; the larger area including Friuli Venezia Giulia and some Veneto provinces is where controlled origin Prosecco is produced. The adjacent diagram shows how and to what extent Prosecco has conquered the global market, as well as the main export destinations.
