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).

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. Valpolicella, which means "valley of many cellars", is home to a series of red grapes, most of which have unclear origins and are rarely found elsewhere in Italy. Corvina, a dark-berried, thick-skinned variety, is the principal grape in red Valpolicella wines, forming the backbone of the blend with its firm tannins and rich, smokl, red-cherry scent. We'll visit celebrated vineyards where Amarone is made. Its method of production dates back to Roman times.

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.
