The Montello has always been a zone with a vocation for wine production, to the extent that – as long ago as 1590 – the historian Bonifacius sang its praises in his “Historia Trevigiana”, sustaining that “ “the district of Treviso has forests that are useful for many types of wood and for hunting… These lands produce (…) excellent wines, and the best is that from the Montello Riviera”. Here the wines take on depth and concentration, thanks to clayey soils that are rich in iron and other indispensable minerals for the vines, and which have a typical red colour. The hills rise to an altitude of 370 metres above sea level, and the microclimate combines the thermal excursions deriving from the hilly topography with the influence of the Prealps, which shelter the vineyards from cold winds..
