Tasting of Turchetta, Friularo and red wines from the Euganean Hills at Salvan Vigne del Pigozzo

Here is what's in store for you

Visit the Salvan - Vigne del Pigozzo winery, nestled among the wine territories of Colli Euganei and the Bagnoli DOC, for a special wine tasting experience.

In the favorable seasons, the experience begins with a short walk through the vineyard to discover wine where it is born. Vigne del Pigozzo is located within two wine-growing areas of great interest: the DOC Colli Euganei area, a volcanic territory in which varieties such as Merlot and Cabernet have dwelled happily for more than 150 years and from which great red wines are made; and the DOC Bagnoli area, whose main grape variety, Friularo, is distinguished by its strong character with an important tannicity and acidity that make it a wine for long aging suitable for the most rustic dishes of the Veneto peasant tradition.

After a walk in the vineyard, it will be time to move to the winery for the tasting, conducted directly by winemakers Giorgio, Rosanna, or Francesca, who will be more than happy to adapt the experience to your interest and satisfy your curiosity.

Through the tasting of at least 7 wines, we will discover the rich history of an area with a long winemaking tradition: going back to the time of the Venetians, with indigenous wines such as Friularo and Turchetta, and then we will get closer to the present day with typical Bordeaux varieties that in these volcanic lands give surprising results. The wines will be accompanied by a pairing with local products such as sopressa (local salami) and cheeses typical of the area (vegetarian or vegan pairings are also possible upon request).
