History: «Doxe» in the Venetian dialect means «Doge». Today the Prosecco is the reigning sparkling wine of this region, as well as the 120 Venetian Doges were in the past. We decided therefore to symbolically invest our Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, in the charge of the 122st Doge, with the purpose of bringing back to light the history of the Venetian Dukedom that governed these lands for more than 1000 years, from the 6th century to 1797.
