Donabelo Imports’ initial product focus is exclusively on Prosecco Superiore from Valdobbiadene and Cartizze.

Prosecco's story begins in Valdobbiadene, a town located in the province of Treviso, in the region of Veneto. It is a hilly area in Northeast Italy, 50 km from Venice and around 100 km from the Alpine-Dolomite areas of Veneto. It provides an ideal climate for growing Glera, the primary grape varietal found in prosecco.

It’s here, nestled in this beautiful microclimate, for over three centuries, people have grown the grapes that produce Prosecco Superiore, whose success began with the founding of Italy’s first School of Winemaking in 1876, though the grape's cultivation goes back to Roman times. The production area covers 15 communes and represents the heart of the world of Prosecco; it is one of Italy’s historic denominations, recognized in 1969. In 2009, with the reorganization of the denominations for Prosecco, the Ministry of Agriculture classified it as a Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (D.O.C.G.), the highest level of quality for Italian wines.
