DESCRIPTION OF THE TERRITORY

The area extends through the band of hills of the Province of Treviso in the Veneto Region in northern Italy and encompasses the area between the towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. The zone includes a series of hill chains - running from east to west - which follow one after the other from the lowlands to the Pre-Alps, lying equidistant between the sheltering Dolomites to the north and the Adriatic, which has a positive effect on the climate and countryside. While Conegliano plays host to famous wine institutes, Valdobbiadene is surely the productive heart of the area for wine. The steep slopes of the hills make it difficult to mechanize the work and consequently managing the vineyards has almost always been left in the hands of small growers.

The Prosecco vine has been cultivated on these hills for over two hundred years

The position between the Prealps and the sea guarantees a mild climate with a constant ventilation that allow the grapes to dry quickly after the typical summer storms that are frequent in this area.

WILDLIFE The area of Valdobbiadene is very various : the humid lowland forests of the plain to the sunny dry meadows, passing through streams, woods, ponds and slopes. It is these marked geographical differences that are the strength of a landscape in which nature and humans live in close proximity. This is the ideal habitat for the animals to live.Birds are the undisputed rulers here: With the Valdobbiadene's hills they can find the ideal habitat for wintering and also breeding. Another important groups are the mammals and the king of this group is the fox, the second group are composed by amphibians very important indicator of the ground.

The cathedral and the bell tower

2018-06-04 14:22:16 UTC

The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta has a neoclassical style and it dates back to the last decade of the 1700s.
Originally it was composed of three naves, but the bombing of the Great War destroyed it and the Cathedral was rebuilt and reinforced in the supporting structures.
Inside the Cathedral there are precious works of art. An example is the altarpiece of the Assumption of Beccaruzzi, the altarpiece of the Virgin and the Saints Sebastian and Rocco of Paris Bordon.
In the Piazza dominates the bell tower, which was built in the mid-eighteenth century.
It suffered great damage after the Great War and was rebuilt in the following years.
Today the bell tower is the symbol of Valdobbiadene.

Parco del Piave

2018-06-04 14:23:53 UTC

A Bigolino si estende l’area naturalistica del Settolo Basso. Un percorso di circa 5 Km che offre la possibilità di scoprire, in una zona pianeggiante, una serie di freschi corsi d’acqua, risorgive, flora e fauna tipiche degli ambienti umidi. E’ una tra le zone di maggior interesse naturalistico dell’intero corso del Piave.

L’ampia zona golenale sulla sponda sinistra del fiume ospita rii e specchi d’acqua risorgiva, alimentati dalle falde della vicina catena delle Prealpi Trevigiane e dalle falde di sub alveo originarie dalle acque di scolo dei Colli Asolani.

Il parco è stato riscoperto alcuni anni fa per ricordare la sua importanza già all’epoca della Serenissima, quando la merce veniva trasportata su zattere.

Il Parco del Piave è meta di molti turisti, che qui possono ammirare una colorata flora e una variegata fauna di garzette, aironi, gabbiani e cormorani.

Il “Settolo basso”, conosciuto anche con il nome di “Fontane Bianche”, si snoda in un contesto di rigogliosa vegetazione dove anche l’occhio inesperto avverte il pullulare di vita che questo luogo ospita. L’acqua è l’elemento principe e vi si possono osservare specie faunistiche e floristiche tipiche delle zone umide. Ci si può imbattere nella garzetta o nell’airone cinerino giunti qui per pescare dalla vicina garzaia di Pederobba dove nidificano.

Tempo fa sono stati predisposti percorsi ideali per passeggiate immersi nella natura.

WINE HISTORY OF VALDOBBIADENE

2018-10-19 13:49:58 UTC

The history of wine is very important for the people who want to know something more about Valdobbiadene.Everything started back in 1923, when Giovanni Dalmasso founded the Experimental Station for Viticulture and Oenology in Conegliano since than the Prosecco has become the most famous wine in Italy. Then, in August 2009, Conegliano Valdobbiadene became Italy’s 44th D.O.C.G.

The Prosecco Superiore Circular Route is a nature trail of approximately 15 km in length that winds its way past vineyards, cottages, wineries, woods and villages in the Valdobbiadene area. It is a great way to get to know the local wine, food, culture and traditions.The route leads tourists on a journey of discovery through the renowned villages of San Pietro di Barbozza, Saccol and Santo Stefano in the famous land of Cartizze.All along the walking route, you can admire the creations from the “Vignarte” initiative, which sees the humble chestnut wood posts at the ends of rows of vines being carved into remarkable sculptures that commune with their surroundings. The imaginations and hands of the artists were guided by five themed sections along the exhibition route. Over the course of the last five events, the sculptors have been asked to give their interpretations of the following topics: “El Matharol” (a type of mischievous sprite who plays tricks on people), “I Schei” (a term in the Veneto dialect that generally refers to money), “The Future”, “The End of the World” and “The Four Elements”. In addition, wrought iron posts can be found all along the route. Each one provides a translation and description of a word from the local rural lexicon, which is gradually being forgotten. The posts are part of a project named “Saving words": the language of the land”, which aims to reclaim and revive farming terms of the past that have strong ties to the rustic culture of the surrounding area. Meanwhile, in the village of San Pietro di Barbozza there are eye-catching displays of rocks and pebbles from the Piave River that are carved and arranged in extraordinary compositions. They are produced by Angelo Favero, who is better known in art circles as “Zoe”, hence their name: Zoe’s Rocks. With his chisel and his other trusty tools, Zoe creates floral arrays on walls and extravagant characters in various forms that he calls putinòts and describes as “citizens of the world”. The best places to look out for the bizarre creatures are in the area around the village square, near the fountain, on the front of his house and on Via Cima near his workshop: a shack made of concrete and sheets of metal that he calls Alcazar. The Valdobbiadene Consortium organizes guided tours for groups of 15 or more people. They are a great opportunity not only to explore the rich history, landscape and culture of the surrounding area but also to visit local wineries and taste Valdobbiadene DOCG wines and traditional food. The guides are always happy to help with all of your needs. They will ensure that you really get to know the area and have the chance to admire every single one of the stunning views.ROUTEThe route starts in the main square in San Pietro di Barbozza near Valdobbiadene and covers 15 km of unsurfaced paths and paved roads. It is possible to follow all or just part of it. There are also intersecting trails and diversions leading to isolated cottages and little hamlets.The duration of the tour – including both the walking time and the tasting sessions – depends on the needs of each group. Participants are advised to wear comfortable clothing and shoes.PRICEThe price depends on the duration of the tour, the number of wineries visited and the types of tasting sessions. Prices start at €12.00 per person. Participation is free for children under 10 years of age and one free place is available for every 15 participants. In the event of bad weather, the tour will take place anyway and participants can travel in their own vehicles.N.B. Tours must be booked at least 15 days in advance.

The route takes in locations where time stands still amidst the land, the water and the sky. Small and large artistic treasures are dotted throughout the breathtaking landscape.The tour starts on Piazza Marconi with a visit to the unmissable cathedral. Inside are exquisite works of art by such illustrious names as Francesco Beccaruzzi, Paris Bordon and Palma il Giovane. Standing tall outside is the bell tower designed by Francesco Maria Preti, which is adorned with a beautiful sundial by Giovanni Follador. The route continues along Via Piva to Villa dei Cedri, which is surrounded by vast grounds. Proceeding along Strada La Cordana, after a quick stop at the washhouse and the capital dedicated to Saint Venantius Fortunatus, the tour takes you to the church of San Floriano. Surrounded by thriving vineyards, it has magnificent views of the valley below. The trail then leads down to the ancient village of Ron, with its welcoming courtyards and old fountain.

With more than 30 officially recorded sundials, Valdobbiadene played host to the 21st Italian National Gnomonics Seminar in March 2017. The ancient instruments for measuring time and life have strong roots in the local farming traditions. As well as the hours of the day, they show the seasons of the year that correspond to the different stages of the work in the fields. The sundials are marvellous examples of artistic, mathematical and astronomical prowess and they are often embellished with symbolic images and wise words. The most famous sundial in Valdobbiadene is unquestionably the one created by the Abbot Giovanni Follador on the southern façade of the cathedral bell tower in 1862. The original was destroyed by shelling during the First World War, so the sundial that can be seen today is actually a reconstruction. The motto “Time and life never stop” is written on the large dial, which is framed by two bands on the sides featuring decorative portrayals of the astrological signs.

DescriptionThe Prosecco and Conegliano Valdobbiadene Hills Wine Route was created in 2003 and it covers a total of 90 km. It is the latest incarnation of the first ever Italian wine route, which was introduced back in 1966. The trail showcases the best of the entire surrounding area, including the varied landscapes and the numerous historical, artistic and other attractions that are spread across the hills between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano.

Uno dei più interessanti e agevoli è il Sentiero dell’acquedotto e delle prese, un percorso anulare che, attraverso una serie di pannelli didattici, introduce l’escursionista agli aspetti geologici, alla flora, alla fauna e alla storia dell’uomo in queste montagne. Autentica meraviglia di questo itinerario è la presenza, lungo il percorso, di una serie di faggi secolari. Avvicinandosi a qualche posa d’acqua si possono a volte fare fortunati incontri con poiane, falchi, caprioli, più facilmente se si cammina contenendo il volume della conversazione.

Valdobbiadene and Conegliano are famous for their "prosecco" wine. The town is situated on a plateau at the foot of the Barbaria and Cesen mountains, with hills to the east and south covered with vineyards. A road from Valdobbiadene, called Strada del Prosecco, reaches Conegliano passing through the vineyards and by the prosecco producing canteens . Some archeological findings located in this area are the Roman road called Augusta-Altinate, which connects Opitergium to the Trentino region. The most important family in valdobbiadene, between the XI century and XIII century was the Ezzelini family. At first there were many small towns like San Vito, Caravaggio, Santo Stefano, Barbozza surrounding Valdobbiadene. These towns take their name from the church. These places were like a community where the people talked about all the things happening in their daily lives.

WILDLIFE The territory of Valdobbiadene is varied: from the humid forests of the plain to the sunny dry meadows, passing through streams, woods, ponds and slopes. It is these marked geographical differences that are the strength of a landscape in which nature and humans live in close proximity. This is the ideal habitat for the animals to live. Birds are the undisputed rulers here: they can find the perfect place for wintering and also breeding. The undispued king of the animals is the fox

storia della compagnia bortolin

2018-10-26 14:45:21 UTC

Our winery is in S.Stefano di Valdobbiadene, at the heart of the area of production of Prosecco di Valdobbiadene e Conegliano, and we make mainly sparkling wine.

It is a family-run business which employs the owner, Valeriano Bortolin, his children and some workers.

We like to date the history of the company back to 1542: in that year Treviso State Archives record that Zan Bortolin, a wine grower living in S.Stefano di Valdobbiadene, was cultivating 17 allotments and produced 20.5 “conzos” of wine (a conzo is about 100 litres).

More recently, between the First and the Second World War, Valeriano Bortolin (namesake of the current owner) took part in fairs and competitions in several Italian cities and, thanks to the quality of his wines, he was awarded medals and certificates which are now treasured at the company seat.

Back then wines were sold locally, in the nearby cities of Treviso, Padua and Venice; part of them were sold in demijohns and part were bottled.

As from 1950, Valeriano’s heirs began to equip their winery in order to obtain sparkling wines through the Charmat method; they bought the first autoclaves and modern bottling machines.

Since then they have been modernizing their wine-making methods and equipment, in a continuous search for quality which aims at innovation but still remains faithful to traditions.

Currently, the company has 20 hectares of vineyards divided into various allotments which go from the area of Cartizze to Valdobbiadene, through the municipalities of Farra di Soligo and Follina and get as far as S.Pietro di Feletto, near Conegliano. Besides owning vineyards, the company also buys grapes from trusted winegrowers from the Valdobbiadene area. On the whole, every year it produces about 300 thousand bottles of sparkling wine, above all Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOC (in its Dry, Extra Dry and Brut varieties) and Prosecco di Valdobbiadene DOC Superiore di Cartizze, but also an Extra Brut wine, called Vigneto del Convento, made from a grape blend of Prosecco and Chardonnay, and finally a still white wine, called Colli di Conegliano Bianco DOC.

Valdobbiadene was under the district of Venice until the Italy's kingdom.In 1848 the inhabitants of Valdobbiadene were ready to attack and protect the region from the Austrian army and then some of the population escaped to the Piedmont region for a better life and for this action the other inhabitants disappointed it because they have left the war and left them alone.Even more when in 1859 the region Veneto region was under foreign dominance.In 1929 the hamlet S. Pietro di Barbozza was united with Valdobbiadene.Another serious fact was in 1945 when 50 prisoners of war were executed by dissident factions and partisan defectors.

History

The name Valdobbiadene comes from :"Val di Dobiadene", the valley of Dobiadene, which is a ramification of the river Piave . The real history of Valdobbiadene started between the 11^th and the 12^th centuries with the Ezzelini family, the medieval protagonists of Valdobbiadene; but the Golden age of the city was under the Serenissima, when the economy and the city greatly developed. For example, here in valdobbiadene they used to raise silkworms to make silk and today you can still see the ancient filanda, the spinning mill.

Unfortunately, Valdobbiadene is also known for the massacre in May 1945. This was one of a series of events dictated by hatred and a desire for vengeance that took place after WWII had ended. Some partisans took 50 prisoners from the Salò Republic and told them that they would take them to a concentration camp. Instead they divided the prisoners into three groups and took them to different areas (Madean di Combai, Saccol and Bosco di Segusino) where they were then murdered.
You can find a memorial dedicated to the victims and soldiers of both world wars in Viale della Vittoria.

The most popular foods and wines in Valdobbiadene are:-Chestnuts- Polenta- Sopressa- Tiramisù- Radicchio of Treviso- Prosecco

CHESTNUTS are one of the typical autumn products, they can be found in the woods or simply in supermarkets. They can be cooked in two different ways - roasted in open air in special long-handled pots called "rostidore" or boiled and paired with excellent wines like Prosecco or vino novello. The Festa dei Marroni in Combai and the sagra dei marroni in Monfenera are wonderful opportunities to taste chestnuts.

POLENTA is a cornmeal flour that comes in two colours: yellow and white. It can be mixed with water and cooked. It can be served in two ways – as a soft mixture like pureè or sliced and grilled on the barbecue. It is usually served in place of bread. Once it was cooked in large copper pots called “caliere”, it was then served and the bits that remained around the edges of the pots were “dried” and then eaten crispy. Nowadays, polenta is served as an appetizer or it can be served as the perfect side dish, in particular with sopressa and mushrooms.

 SOPRESSA is a typical and traditional product of the Veneto delicatessen. it is very tasty and is made from pork with the only addition of salt, pepper and natural flavors; it can be with or without garlic...it depends on personal tastes. The sopressa stands out for its unique softness and delicate flavor.

TIRAMISÙTiramisù is made with eggs, sugar, mascarpone cream, ladyfingers, coffee and cocoa. Tiramisù is made with layers of ladyfingers dipped in strong coffee, alternating with layers of mascarpone cream. It is a tasty dessert decorated with a sprinkle of cocoa powder and is well-known all over the world.

RADICCHIO DI TREVISO is a variety of ‘chicory’, there are many varieties but the most important is radicchio from Treviso because of its sweet taste and soft leaves brought about by screening the plant from the sun’s rays. This process stops the production of chlorophyll and little by little the plants turn white and lose their bitter taste.

The DOCG Prosecco(which means Denomination of Origin Controlled and Guaranteed) is the real Prosecco and is the most famous white wine of Valdobbiadene. It can be still or sparkling. In Valdobbiadene there is also an ice cream parlor where you can try Prosecco ice cream.

In fact, a lot of people don’t know that in Valdobbiadene there are a lot of monuments and sites, which are really interesting.

For example, The Villa dei Cedri, located in the Center of Valdobbiadene and built in the 19th century. It has spacious interiors and a large, spacious Park which is always open to the public and where numerous events and courses take place every year.

If you want to head to the center of Valdobbiadene, just look for the majestic bell tower. Here there is the ancient cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built in the 18th century, with its beautiful paintings.
We are most proud of the ancient sundial on the bell tower. Dating back to the 19th century, the sundial was used in ancient times to tell the time based on the movements of the sun.
if you want to do some shopping, there are some boutiques in the nearby streets, but if you just want to relax, then go to the small garden dedicated to the Great War.
Whereas, if you want to eat some of the local specialties, there are plenty of cafès and restaurants serving Prosecco and some of the typical dishes such as tiramisù or paninis with sopressa.

Then, at the top of the hill, among the vineyards, there is a little church, known as the San Floriano church.
To get there you have to walk up a steep road, but it is not difficult. When you arrive at the top,the first thing you see is a fantastic view of the surrounding landscape. You see the contrast between the inhabited city and the countryside full of vineyards. it’s a dream!
The church is between two big trees. It’s a simple church, but the thing that differentiates it from the others is where it is situated: in the middle of a stunning landscape.

Nature & Landscape

The territory of Valdobbiadene is varied: from the humid forests of the plain to the sunny dry meadows, passing through streams, woods, ponds and slopes. It is these marked geographical differences that are the strength of a landscape in which nature and humans live in close proximity. This is the ideal habitat for animals to live. Birds are the undisputed rulers here: they can find the perfect place for wintering and also breeding.

Do you want to admire a colorful flora and fauna but you don’t know where you can completely relax surrounded by nature?

In that case the naturalistic area of Settolo Basso, near Bigolino, is the perfect area for you!

The "Low Settolo", is known as "Fontane Bianche". It is a relaxing place where water is the main element and you can also admire the little egret or the black heron that fish here.

You can also discover a series of fresh water courses and resurgences.

As a matter of fact, this is one of the most important naturalistic areas of the Piave, the main river of Valdobbiadene.

The Piave is also known as the "Fiume sacro alla patria" which means “river sacred to the homeland”, because it was the last defense front of the Italian army after the defeat of the Battle of Caporetto during the first World War. The Italian army crossed the river on October 24, 1918 and there the decisive Battle of Vittorio Veneto where the Italian army defeated the Austro-Hungarians and the Germans was fought.

Now the river is a summer attraction because of the sunny weather and

the sandy stretches

along the edges of the river.

You can't go for a swim because it isn’t safe, there

are strong whirlpools in many areas and there have, on occasion, been

victims that have

drowned because of them but many people go for barbecues and

picnics.

Another interesting tourist attraction is Monte Cesen which is the right place if you want to spend a relaxing day with your family or friends.This place has a lot of hiking paths for young people and adults. And if your children don’t like to walk, there is an adventure park where they can have fun on the rides.

Food and wine

The most popular foods and wines in Valdobbiadene are: Prosecco - Polenta- Sopressa- Tiramisù- Radicchio di Treviso- Chestnuts

The DOCG Prosecco(which means Denomination of Origin Controlled and Guaranteed) is the real Prosecco and is the most famous white wine of Valdobbiadene. It can be still or sparkling. In Valdobbiadene there is also an ice cream parlor where you can try Prosecco ice cream.

POLENTA is a cornmeal flour that comes in two colours: yellow and white. It can be mixed with water and cooked. It can be served in two ways – as a soft mixture like pureè or sliced and grilled on the barbecue. It is usually served in place of bread. Once it was cooked in large copper pots called “caliere”, it was then served and the bits that remained around the edges of the pots were “dried” and then eaten crispy. Nowadays, polenta is served as an appetizer or it can be served as the perfect side dish, in particular with sopressa and mushrooms.

SOPRESSA is a typical and traditional product of the Veneto delicatessen. it is very tasty and is made from pork with the only addition of salt, pepper and natural flavors; it can be with or without garlic...it depends on personal tastes. The sopressa stands out for its unique softness and delicate flavor.

RADICCHIO DI TREVISO is a variety of ‘chicory’, there are many varieties but the most important is radicchio from Treviso because of its sweet taste and soft leaves brought about by screening the plant from the sun’s rays. This process stops the production of chlorophyll and little by little the plants turn white and lose their bitter taste.

CHESTNUTS are one of the typical autumn products, they can be found in the woods or simply in supermarkets. They can be cooked in two different ways - roasted in open air in special long-handled pots called "rostidore" or boiled and paired with excellent wines like Prosecco or vino novello. The Festa dei Marroni in Combai and the sagra dei marroni in Monfenera are wonderful opportunities to taste chestnuts.
