Today's episode is about the birthplace of Prosecco: Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG. I recently visited a month ago and I have been dying to tell you all about this most enchanting wine region. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, a place of heroic viticulture, and SO much more than just fun and fruity fizz. I will be telling you all about my discoveries there, and a deep dive into why the wine tastes different here.
