Territory

Our four wineries are in the heart of the Veneto Region, among Verona, Vicenza and Venice.
This area has been gifted with soils of volcanic and glacial origin that are particularly suitable for grape growing, also thanks to a moderate climate and sunlight. The Berici Hills, which originated about 60 million years ago after an upthrust of the surface, have a unique clay soil that gives complexity in the wines; in the Gambellara area the dark, fine-grained volcanic rock helps developping wines with a fine aroma and bouquet; while the soil in the Lake Garda has a glacial origin with largest soil particles giving the wines an intense minerality.
