Prosecco DOC, as the Official Sparkling Wine and Official Partner of the city of Venice, is once again the protagonist of the Venetian Carnival: an honor that allows us to celebrate not only the bubbles, but also the values of tradition, art and conviviality that distinguish Prosecco DOC.
Prosecco DOC: the new Venetian mask.
During the city’s most magical and festive days, the Prosecco DOC Consortium presents a fascinating new short film: Dionysus: the birth of a sparkling new Venetian mask, curated by Anam Cara. A tribute to the deep connection between wine, culture and conviviality.
The Carnival of Venice has always been a game in which everyone can become whatever they want, without being limited by the social barriers that characterize any kind of society. This same lightness is reflected in Prosecco DOC, a wine that celebrates fun and sharing, an accessible luxury at all times.
It is precisely from this union that the new “Prosecco DOC” mask was born, inspired by Dionysus, the god of wine, adorned with Glera leaves, with a clear neoclassical appeal.
Giacomo Casanova stars in Carnival 2025
This year the Venice Carnival is dedicated to one of the most iconic figures of the Serenissima: Giacomo Casanova, a symbol of seduction and daring, on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of his birth.
Under the title “Casanova’s Time,” the prestigious Dinner Show & Ball conceived by Antonia Sautter will also be revived, where Prosecco DOC will be the official bubbly. Guests, strictly in period costume, will be welcomed to the charming setting of Ca’ Vendramin Calergi where they will be able to savor the Veneto-Friuli bubbles on the evenings of February 22 and 23 and from February 27 to March 4, 2024.
Carnival, however, also spreads throughout the city, enlivening Venice with shows celebrating the flair of Casanova. At the Arsenale, his adventures will come to life on the watery mirror of the Darsena, with two performances each night from Feb. 21 to 23 and Feb. 27 to March 4.
Feast of the Maries
The tradition continues with the Festa delle Marie, whose evocative water parade, scheduled for Feb. 22, will offer young participants one of the most exciting moments of Carnival. The winner will be awarded at La Fenice Theater with a Magnum of Prosecco DOC Rosé.
Accompanying Prosecco DOC’s moments of merriment and conviviality will be the bubbles of the companies: Borgo delle Rose, Bosco Albano, Bottega, Brilla!, Cabert, Cantine Maschio, Col De Mar, De Stefani, Fantinel, La Delizia, La Marca, Masottina, Ruggeri, Sacchetto, Serena Wines 1881, Sui Nui, Tenuta San Giorgio, Val d’Oca, Viticoltori Ponte, Voga, Villa Sandi
