Styles

Natural factors

Flat zone formed by sediments from the Po, Adige, and Bacchiglione rivers: soils ranging from clayey to sandy, with medium-textured loam.
Soils with a high silt content compared to non-alluvial zones, moderately rich in organic matter and mineral salts.
Temperate Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters; good water availability owing to the proximity of the rivers.
Rows oriented north–south using the 'baulatura' technique to maximise sun exposure and reduce wind resistance.

Human factors

Historic native varieties: Raboso Piave, Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, Tai (Tocai friulano), and Moscati, cultivated since Roman times.
Rows are oriented north–south on land shaped by 'baulatura', a land-reclamation technique handed down by sharecroppers and Benedictine monks to promote sun exposure and water drainage.

Product characteristics

Reds ranging from ruby to garnet with violet hues; complex aromas expressing the distinctive character of the variety.
Whites with excellent sapidity and a fresh, lively finish, colour ranging from white to deep yellow with greenish highlights.
