The current Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene[ sic] DOC zone became a DOCG from the 2009 vintage. Announcing the move, Prosecco DOC director Giancarlo Vettorello said that the IGT zone, which lies in the plains between Friuli and Veneto, will be upgraded to DOC status. Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Appellation from the Veneto wine region is one of the most prestigious in the world, mainly because of the unique landscape of steep hills that provides such a range of flavors in one place. In Trieste at the beginning of the sixteenth century, the local wine " Ribolla" was promoted as the recreation of the Pucinian [12] celebrated by Pliny the Elder in his Natural History and praised for its medicinal qualities by Livia, the wife of Emperor Augustus. [13] The need to distinguish the "Ribolla" of Trieste from other wines of the same name, produced in Gorizia and at lower cost in Istria, led, at the end of the century, to a change in name. Following the supposed place of production in antiquity, the wine was referred to as "castellum nobile vinum Pucinum", after the castle near the village of Prosecco. [13]

Prosecco uses the “tank method” which enlists the use of some very high tech fermentation tanks. The tanks were first developed during the industrial era in the late 1800s and are capable of producing wines with up to 4 atmospheres of pressure! And, they’re huge! These tanks are under some serious pressure! How it works a b Blyth, Mark (31 December 2021). "How the politics of prosecco explain what took the fizz out of the Democrats". The Guardian. Prosecco".

These two regional designations are a half-step up from basic Prosecco. These wines are produced in a much smaller area and thus, quality is slightly more controlled.

Come per l'altra DOCG ( Asolo Prosecco), il Conegliano Valdobbiadene - Prosecco DOCG non va confuso con del generico Prosecco DOC né tanto meno con altri vini IGT a base di uva glera. Most Prosecco, whether DOC or DOCG, is made as Spumante sparkling wine or Frizzante (semi-sparkling). Prosecco DOC Spumante is the most famous and popular variety, with longer-lasting bubbles. Prosecco DOC Frizzante has bubbles that linger for a shorter time. A small proportion is made as Tranquillo (still wine), with no bubbles. [5] Tranquillo amounts to only about 5% of production, [21] and this wine is rarely exported. The terroir of Conegliano Valdobbiadene (terroir, by the way, is quite literally the French for earth, and is used in winemaking to describe the unique environmental characteristics of a growing region) is just as intriguing as you’d expect. The area sits upon a combination of marine and glacial soils, which sit side-by-side thanks to the ancient coming-together of the rising sea bed and the descending glaciers of the Dolomite mountains. The resulting landscape is undulating and dramatic, with the steep foothills of the Dolomites erupting magnificently out of the pancake-flat plains below.
