The Harvest
The Agriturismo Le Spezie and its farm "La Bella" extend in an area of excellence for the production of Prosecco, a prestigious wine renowned worldwide.
Prosecco DOCG (name of controlled and guaranteed origin), one of the finest examples of Prosecco wine, is produced exclusively in the area surrounding Treviso, particularly in the hills between Valdobbiadene and Vittorio Veneto. With the right soil composition, hills well exposed to sunlight, abundant and frequent rainfall, constant mild temperatures between April and October, and marked temperature changes during the ripening season, there simply is no better place to produce this wine.
The towns of Conegliano and Vittorio Veneto, where our vineyards are located, fall into this privileged area that since 2008 is in the running to become a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The prosecco wine is is obtained from a number of local grape varieties. The main one is called Glera and it constitutes at least 85% of Prosecco. Glera gives the wine of Conegliano Valdobbiadene its basic structure, but small proportions of Verdiso, Marzemino and Bianchetta, local varieties that are considered as minor but which are very useful for giving the wine a satisfying, harmonious structure, may also be used, as well as Pinot and Chardonnay. Our vineyards' production includes all the aforementioned grapes.
Days of Harvest conclude with large tables of cheer and various municipalities including Conegliano organize real Festivities Grape tastings, events, performances during the month of September.
Our guests (children and adults) love to join us and share at least half a day of harvest, always an experience full of emotions.
