History: “Doxe” in Venetian dialect means Doge. Today, Prosecco reigns over this region as the premier sparkling wine, just as the 120 Venetian Doges once ruled. The 121° DOXE Prosecco symbolically carries the title of the 121st Doge, celebrating the Venetian Duchy that governed these lands for over a millennium, from the 6th century until 1797.
