Wineries

The best wineries in Veneto.

Il Pianzio company of Guglielmo and Vittorio Selmin, located on the southern slope of Mount Rua, inside the flora and fauna complex of the Euganean Hills Park, overlooks the small and sunny valley of Pianzio in the town of Galzignano Terme, from which it takes its name.

The working group is formed by the two brothers, Guglielmo and Vittorio, their wives Marzia and Mariagrazia and their parents, founders of the company, Eugenio and Norma, who still contribute actively in the daily work. Everyone has their specific task in the business, which favors attitudes and passions: Guglielmo follows primarily the work in the field, Vittorio is the expert winemaker, while Marzia and Mariagrazia deal with the welcoming of customers and tastings.

NOT ONLY PASSION

The Selmin brothers have managed in recent years to combine a passion for their territory with the most advanced technology in the field of wine. Without destroying the environment that houses the 15 hectares of vineyards of their company – covering, for example, terraced crops in respect of the old systems and strictly harvesting grapes by hand – they have made of the combination of craftsmanship and research the motto of their work.

Il Pianzio Winery offers white and red wines typical of the hilly area which obtained, for their value, several awards in local and not only wine events. It can boast, thanks to this, to belong to industry associations of reference for the Euganean area like the D.O.C. Wines Consortium, the Euganean Hills Wine Road and the Wine Tourism Movement.

Tenuta I Saltari Srl

I SALTARI is a project founded with the collaboration of Casa Vinicola Sartori and Cantina di Colognola whose objective is, of course, to continue to improve the wine production in the province of Verona, also including the enhancement of micro–zones or valleys undervalued by now. In this way, we want to create a laboratory study.

The vineyards of I Saltari are developed on 34 hectares in the valley of Mezzane, of which 8 are adjacent to the historic home in the Turano locality in the municipality of San Pietro di Lavagno. The others are located in the hills always surrounding the valley of Mezzane. Grape varieties are exclusively native: Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and lesser–known varieties such as Croatina, Oseleta and Corbina, an ancient indigenous varietal that is being recovered. The density varies between 3,500 and 4,500 vines per hectare with an average production between 1.2 and 1.5 kg per plant.

I Saltari

The name is inspired by the figure of the “Saltaro” (the guard of the vineyards in the eighteenth century) which left an inscription in 1709 on the ceiling of one of the internal vaults of the historic wine cellar.
