Vines on the Euganean volcanic hills
Conical hills rise from the plain near Padua, giving many wine styles a shared home.
The Colli Euganei stand out as a group of volcanic hills near Abano Terme and Montegrotto Terme. Their vineyard landscape includes volcanic, sedimentary and alluvial soils. The DOC gathers whites, reds and sparkling styles rather than a single grape expression. Serprino is one useful local name to know: the specification identifies it as a local synonym for Glera.
