september 26, 2018 - Consorzio Colli Berici e Vicenza

Gustus 2018

The wines of the #consorziocollibericievicenza as a tale of unexplored places. Places where rocks are an element of communion between the earth and the identity of the people that live here, where rock is a synonym of terroir and personality. #collibericirock because there are the rebellion and the resistance of a genuine and authentic style of living this land and its products. With this spirit the Consorzio Tutela vini Colli Berici e #vicenza gathers together local wineries, producers and wine companies.
The Consortium for the Protection of Berici Hills and #vicenza Wines has been at work since 2011 thanks to the fusion of two consortium bodies: Consorzio Tutela Vini Colli Berici DOC and Consorzio Tutela Vini #vicenza DOC (the Consortium for the Protection of Berici Hills Wines DOC and the Consortium for the Protection of #vicenza Wines DOC). The goal of the Consortium’s activity is to protect, enhance and improve the production and sale of the wines of both the Colli Berici and #vicenza denominations.

Given the density of Palladian and Palladian-style villas present in the region (to quote only the most famous ones: Villa Americo-Capra also known as the La Rotonda and Villa Valmarana known as the Nani or the Dwarfs in Vicenza), the Berici Hills and #vicenza D.O.C. area can be considered, allegorically, the Palladian Vineyards.

Splendid villas, villages, retreats and convents testify to how this land, today as in ages past, appeals strongly to people and creates a favourable perimeter for the cultivation of grapes and olives.
