Fri 14th Oct 2011 Has Prosecco Conegliano Valdobbiadene gained a strong consumer franchise?
The growth of Prosecco in the last 10 years has taken the international sparkling wine market. It has been significant and the wine now accounts for 15%* of all sparkling wines sold, with 115 million bottles exported all around the world. Total Prosecco production is 210 million bottles.
Giancarlo Vettorello, director of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Consorzio, is set to give delegates an insight into what it perceives as the global success of Prosecco.
The organisers say Vettorello will explain the current structure of Prosecco and its denominations - Prosecco DOC, Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG and Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG before exploring the reasons behind the success and presenting some statistics for Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore - the most famous area for Prosecco production, 50 km from Venice, where the history of Prosecco began 150 years ago.
