Territory

Colli Berici

The soils of the vineyards cultivated in the Colli Berici predominantly derive from calcareous marl conglomerates and red clays. The predominantly carbonate origin of the hilly reliefs and the discovery of fossils (mollusks, sea urchins, corals, algae) allow us to attribute a marine origin to these lands; to this day, these fossils can be admired in our vineyards. It is in these lands that our red wines express themselves at their best. This territory preserves its enchanting landscape, rich in biodiversity, consisting of forests, vineyards, cultivated fields, dotted with well-maintained small centers and Palladian villas, twenty-four in total, which, along with the twenty-three palaces of the city of Vicenza, have been part of the UNESCO World Heritage for years.

Val d'Alpone

It is a wide and green valley in the Lessinia region, located in the province of Verona towards the east and bordering the province of Vicenza. It takes its name from the "Alpone" stream and is characterized by extensive vineyards, olive groves, and a significant presence of cherry trees. The entire territory is composed of volcanic formations with typical conical-shaped mountains and columnar basalts found in various locations.

In these lands, specifically in the Brognoligo vineyards in Monteforte d'Alpone, we produce our Garganega IGT, an indigenous grape variety that thrives in the hilly area where all the mineral and basaltic characteristics of the soil are concentrated and enhance the quality of the final product.

The viticultural vocation of this region has ancient origins, stemming from the volcanic nature of the land and a mild and temperate climate. It is considered the area with the highest vineyard density in Italy, with over 95% of the agricultural land dedicated to vine cultivation.
