DOLOMITES VINEYARDS
The IGT title is named after the Dolomite Mountains which dominate a majority of the topography here. Vineyards are found scattered amongst the peaks and valleys of the foothills at altitude which create cool nighttime temperatures and warm, sunny days.
The denomination Vigneti delle Dolomiti or Weinberg Dolomiten IGT represents one of the most important wine-producing areas of the Trentino-Alto Adige region. The name Vigneti delle Dolomiti or Weinberg Dolomiten IGT includes the provinces of Bolzano, Trento, and Belluno and was created in 1997.
Vineyards are found scattered amongst the peaks and valleys of the foothills at altitude which create cool nighttime temperatures and warm, sunny days. The peculiarities of the area are the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, gentle hills covered with expanses of vines from which the most famous bubbles in Italy are produced.
UNESCO has included them in the list of World Heritage Sites. A wine tour of the Prosecco hills with a stop in the cellars for guided tours and tastings is undoubtedly a valid reason for a holiday in Veneto. Wine resorts in Friuli Venezia Giulia are places where you can discover the famous wines of the region: Pinot Blanc, Grigio and Nero, Ribolla, Friulano (Tocai Friulano) Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Malvasia. There, you can enjoy great wine and food pairing experiences and you can visit the cellars. Spessa Castle, on the Collio Goriziano, boasts a golf course and a Vinum Spa (Wine Spa) that offers specific treatments that exploit the beneficial nutrients of grapes.
