Natural factors

The plain is divided into upper and lower zones by the spring-water (risorgive) belt: above it, fluvioglacial gravels; below, silts and clays.
Soils originating from glacial-melt alluvial deposits, subsequently shaped by the Piave and Livenza rivers.
Towards the south the texture becomes finer: sands increasing progressively to silts and argille in the risorgive belt.
Temperate humid climate influenced by the Prealps and Dolomiti to the north, the Adriatic Sea and lagoons to the south, and a plain exposed to prevailing winds.
Calcium-rich soils favour grapes with a distinctive aromatic character; the zone extends from the Treviso foothills to the Venetian coastline.

Product characteristics

Reds: colour ranging from ruby to garnet; balanced, sapid palate, at times tannic, with good acidity.
Young whites: pale straw-yellow with greenish highlights; floral aromas tending towards fruitiness.

Terroir / wine link

Calcium-rich soils favour grapes with a distinctive aromatic character; variations in texture (ghiaie, sabbie, silts, argille) modulate fruity or herbaceous notes in the red wines.
