The best wineries in Due Carrare.
At the foot of the imposing Catajo, a narrow road goes down from the highway to introduce into a luxury country house, where the buildings, the yard in trachyte, the barns speak of the ancient loyalty of the Salvan family to the land. Inside the courtyard, wine cellars. All around, vineyards.
For generations, local people have combined with expertise academic knowledge with peasant concreteness; it is not a surprise, then, to find here the most modern tools and techniques of the most advanced winemaking.
Dr. Giorgio Salvan welcomes visitors in the vineyards and, in the wine cellar, pours for tasting the wine from large containers, but then proudly displays the small casks of different woods where he leaves to age the wine he knows.
He is a lover: he tells the story of the place, recommens the right wine for the various dishes, to understand, to learn more, to offer friends a sip of pleasure.
At the foothills to the East of the Euganean Hills, in the town of Due Carrare, you find "La Mincana" farm of the Dal Martello family, since three generations.
The vineyards surround the winery, consisting of a complex that includes a sixteenth century villa and an arcade where the cellars are located today. The villa of the seventeenth century is owned by the noble Venetian Dolfin family, that took it over from the Bondumier, the holders in the sixteenth century. In the first half of the eighteenth century it was renovated in Palladian style, particularly evident in the loggia to the north and the oratory built to the west side of the villa.
Towards the end of the eighteenth century Andrea Dolfin (then ambassador of the Venetian Republic in France) gave architect Giannantonio Selva the job to build a garden in British style in the area of the southern orchard, one of the first in Italy. Few traces remain of the garden, the fish pond and some old trees.
The farm has been owned by the Dal Martello family since 1907 and covers an area of about 57 hectares, of which 18 are vineyards. The main activity is the production and sale of wine. A careful vineyard management, low yields per hectare, appropriate techniques and attention at various stages of the subsequent winemaking allow to obtain a final product of quality.
La Mincana is easily accessible because a few hundred meters from the Terme Euganee exit of the Bologna–Padova motorway.
