Meet The Winemakers of the Consorzio Di Tutela
Prosecco DOC
Story and photo gallery by Dwight Casimere
TREVISO, Italy--Largely crafted by hand and tied to the history and culture of this picturesque city,
Prosecco DOC is a liquid treasure. I had an opportunity to meet the people behind its production in
a unique setting; the headquarters of the Consorzio Di Tutela Prosecco DOC in the heart of
downtown Treviso. Winding my way through its narrow, cobblestoned streets, across stone bridges
spanning the city's many rivers, through public squares sprawling with art work and tables of
handcrafted items in open-air markets, I made my way up the marble staircase of an ancient
building that resembled an art museum with a pleasant sculpture garden. Upstairs in a huge, welllit room, a dozen or so producers of Prosecco DOC were waiting behind tables with decorative ice
buckets filled with the golden, straw-colored bubbly refreshment that is becoming so popular
around the world; Prosecco DOC.
With its distinctive flowery bouquet and fresh, lively flavor, Prosecco DOC is the ultimate simple,
yet sophisticated wine that typifies the ultimate Italian lifestyle. Produced in northeast Italy in the
territories of five provinces of the Veneto; Treviso, Venice, Veniza, Padua and Belluno, and four
provinces in Fiuli Venezia Giulia; Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste and Udine, the wine is a stunning
achievement that marries personal artistry with technology and a love of the land and its resources.
Chairs were lined up at the perimeter of the tasting tables so that visiting international wine
journalists could sit with the winemakers for personal interviews and tasting sessions, "speed
dating" style, only, the interviews were conducted in an informal, unhurried fashion that allowed for
personal interchange and a deeper understanding of the philosophy and technique behind this
special sparkling beverage.
Here are a few of the faces and personalities behind the bottles of Prosecco DOC:
