Tidy
vineyards blend into the geometrical shape of the countryside
that leads up to the woods: this is how the Euganean Hills
appear to the many excursionists who reach the top along
peaceful old pathways.
There are 13 wines with the “Colli Euganei”
denomination:
the White, with its typical straw-yellow colour and jasmine
scent, the Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon reds, the
elegant Chardonnay, the Fior d’Arancio, the super
sweet yellow Moscato, the Merlot, the pleasantly fresh and
lively Novello, the dry Pinello, White Pinot, Red Wine,
the sparkling Serprino and the Tocai Italico.
The
lush green hills that surround Verona have been the home
of indigenous vines for over 2,000 years. We'll visit celebrated
vineyards each producing there own versions of the Amarone
"the big dry one". Along with other local wines
like the Valpolicella classico and rare Recioto.
The
Prosecco di Conegliano is a sparkling wine and is one of
the most typical products of these lands. The vine origins
are uncertain, but it probably comes from the Venezia Giulia
area or far more eastern areas. What is certain is that
Prosecco was produced back in Roman times and found those
soil and climatic conditions in the Treviso hills that allow
its qualities to develop to the full.
The main feature of Prosecco is its marked versatility:
its aroma and its freshness are unmistakeable whether tranquilla;
(still) or “frizzante” and “spumante”
(sparkling).
Amarone is the Veneto's principal collector's
wine, and it is built to last: Because of its high alcohol content,
thick tannins, and deep concentration, it is a wine typically
aged from three to six year before it is released. It is a unique
wine in that it is approchable when young but can also spend twenty
to thirty to years or more in bottle and still be rich and satisfying
when opened.
