Le Contesse Page 1 of 3

The history and origin of Le Contesse are closely linked to the Prosecco region and the production of Italian sparkling wine. Le Contesse is a name that appears in wineries in the Veneto region in northeastern Italy. This brand is best known for its prosecco produced using the Charmat method, which is a method of secondary fermentation of wine in stainless steel tanks, creating the characteristic fine bubble structure.

The Le Contesse vineyards cover an area of 200 hectares, spread across 8 different municipalities: San Polo di Piave / Mareno di Piave / Santa Lucia di Piave / Vazzola / San Pietro di Feletto / Vittorio Veneto / San Vendemmiano / Roveredo in Piano. A large part of our grape production area falls within the 55th Italian "World Heritage Site," "Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene." An area whose beauty speaks for itself: thousands of hectares stretching east-west from Vittorio Veneto to Valdobbiadene, a landscape characterized by hilly ridges, "ciglioni" (small vineyards on narrow grassy terraces), forests, villages, and crops. This rugged terrain has been shaped and adapted by humans for centuries, resulting in a unique checkerboard landscape formed by rows of parallel and vertical vineyards on the slopes.
