Even though Venetian glass has a longer history than Prosecco wine, they both come from the same region called Veneto. Families that were producing glass in the 14th century still do nowadays and families that were producing wines in Valdobbiadene in the 16th century are among the best Prosecco producers nowadays.
The history of Venice and Conegliano-Valdobbiadene has always intermingled. The noble Venetians had many of their summer residences in the hills of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene and have always been great appreciators of the wines there.
Today the best Prosecco producers have rediscovered a Venetian grape variety called “dordona” on the Venetian island Mazzorbo and have produced a limited edition wine “Venissa” in Venetian glass bottles with a golden label also made according to Venetian traditions.
