Venetian glass white wine glasses and Prosecco white wine have a lot more in common than just being complementary. Clearly the glasses may be utilized to drink the red wine, however this is not all.
Historically there is proof that red wine production happened as early as the sixth millennium BC, in between the Caucasus and the Middle East which the red wine society spread towards the West thanks to the Phoenicians.
The Phoenicians also appear to be in charge of the westward spread of the blowpipe, which was already utilized in the 1st Century B.C by them along the Syro-Palestinian coast, traveling through the Roman Realm to Europe.
For Venetian glass an important day was 1297. Venice was experiencing an episode of fires in the city. In order to maintain the glass factories and also protect their secret techniques for creating the glass, the Doges of Venice decreed that all the glass heaters be transferred to Murano.
For Prosecco wine a vital day was 1750, when Champagne the ancestor of the Prosecco grape range moved from the hill region north of Trieste to Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, today’s heart for the Prosecco manufacturing. It looks like it was already understood during the Roman Empire, called Pucino then as well as was made from a grape selection called “glera”.
Although Venetian glass has a longer background than Prosecco wine, they both come from the exact same region called Veneto. Households that were producing glass in the 14th century still do nowadays and households that were generating wines in Valdobbiadene in the 16th century are among the most effective Prosecco producers nowadays.
The background of Venice as well as Conegliano-Valdobbiadene has actually constantly come together. The noble Venetians had a lot of their summertime houses in capitals of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene and also have actually constantly been wonderful appreciators of the glass of wines there.
Today the best Prosecco producers have rediscovered a Venetian grape variety called “dordona” on the Venetian island Mazzorbo as well as have generated a minimal edition wine “Venissa” in Venetian glass bottles with a gold label also made according to Venetian traditions.
The trial and error which took place as well as is taking place in the glass world, thanks to bold glass blowers as well as young developers can be compared to what is happening in the hills of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene.
