  • The Colli Euganei DOC is located in the Euganean Hills, a group of volcanic hills south of Padua, Veneto. The hills are characterized by their conical shapes and provide a diverse range of microclimates and soil types.
  • The soils in the Colli Euganei region are primarily volcanic, which contributes to the unique mineral character of the wines. The volcanic origin provides excellent drainage and a variety of nutrients beneficial for vine growth.
