Anello del Prosecco

The Prosecco Loop links the vineyard landscapes of San Pietro di Barbozza, Santo Stefano and Saccol within the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a UNESCO World Heritage property since 2019.

Why it matters

The loop crosses the Cartizze hills, a south-facing area associated with the Prosecco appellation. Its vineyards, villages and wooded ridges form part of the cultural landscape recognized by UNESCO for its distinctive scenery and continuing agricultural use.

What to notice

The landscape combines vineyard terraces, woodland and small settlements. Wooden sculptures from the VignArte project punctuate the vineyards. Churches, a convent and the hermitage of Sant'Alberto add devotional landmarks to the agricultural setting. The Cartizze hills are known for their steep, manually cultivated slopes.

Context and history

The three hamlets share a long history of viticulture in the steep hills. The UNESCO designation recognizes a working landscape of vineyards, woods and villages, where manual cultivation remains important. The present loop brings together older farm tracks and parish connections within a contemporary interpretation of the Prosecco Hills.
