Our tour to Prosecco Hills was exceptional with Paolo. He reached out before the tour with clear information and a picture of the meeting place.
On our drive Paolo shared about his life as a Venetian and his love for Italian Prosecco. My husband was full of questions and Paolo answered them all. We learned so much.
We visited Le Volpere which is owned by two brothers Luca and Matteo De Rossi. When we arrived we met our host Flavio who drove us to their nearby main hillside vineyard which is some of the steepest vineyards in Italy. We discussed their four-generation ownership, the terra, the vines through the years and their growing and harvesting process.
Returning to the winery for a tour of the facilities we had the privilege to meet Matteo who was working post crush duties and he spent time with us showing us their process and answering questions. This was a highlight of the visit for us.
On to the tasting room Flavio had local meats, cheeses, jam and honey and Baccala Mantecato to pair with three of their Proseccoās and a Chardonnay. It was one of the best wine experiences weāve enjoyed.
Paolo returned us to Venice and provided us with a sheet of helpful information and recommendations for restaurants near where we were staying. We highly recommend Paolo and this tour experience.
