History: “Doxe” in Venetian dialect means Doge. Today, Prosecco reigns over this region, just as the 120 Venetian Doges once ruled. The 122° DOXE Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG symbolically carries the title of the 122nd Doge, celebrating the legacy of the Venetian Duchy that governed these lands for over a millennium, from the 6th century until 1797.
