Territory Our four wineries are in the heart of the Veneto Region, between Verona, Vicenza and Venice. This area has been gifted with volcanic and glacial soil which is particularly suitable for grape growing, also owing to its temperate climate and good exposure to the sun. The Berici Hills particularly, which originated about 60 million years ago after an upthrust of the surface, have very clayey soil that gives their wines a body; in the Gambellara area the dark, fine-grained volcanic rock helps to exalt its wines with a fine aroma and bouquet; while the soil in the Lake Garda area is morainic, loose and with an abundance of resistant sediment which bestows an intense minerality on its wines. 6,920 acres In the heart of Veneto, between Verona and Venice, an area of ancient volcanic origin with a calling for cultivating grapevines Our main denominations BARDOLINO DOC COLLI BERICI DOC PROSECCO DOC LESSINI DOC VICENZA DOC GAMBELLARA DOC Next BARDOLINO DOC From the morainic hills on the eastern slopes of Lake Garda.

Safeguarding and fostering the typicality of the wines from our area A territory, a wine, an identity: the uniqueness of the product of a vineyard comes into being as a result of a set of interactions between the activity of man and nature. The characteristics of a wine have a very complex origin, but the terroir plays a fundamental part in determining the quality of the raw material – the grape.

Typical of the Gambellara area. MORAINIC Soil from thin to moderately deep, medium texture, skeleton frequently calcareous, available water capacity low, good drainage. Typical of the Lake Garda area. CALCAREOUS Soil with more than 20% limestone content, whitish in colour, from thin to moderately deep. The calcium carbonate comes from the decomposition of organisms with a shell or a calcareous skeleton. This type of soil is found particularly in North-Eastern Italy. ARGILLACEOUS Soil mainly composed of aluminium silicates, defined as compact or heavy. It retains humidity so that drainage is difficult. It is sometimes white, other times yellow and in some cases reddish. © CANTINE VITEVIS Società Cooperativa Agricola Sede Legale: 36075 Montecchio Maggiore (VI) Italy – Viale Europa, 151 – Tel. +39 0444 491360 – Fax +39 0444 491661 Sede Amministrativa: 36053 Gambellara (VI) Italy – Via Mazzini, 2 – Tel. +39 0444 444012 – Fax +39 0444 444747 Reg.
