The Euganean Hills are a mosaic of volcanic hills rising up from the Venetian Plain with soft and harmonious contours. Here, amidst woods, olive groves and medieval villages, vines have found an ideal terrain for centuries: volcanic and calcareous soils, diverse microclimates, and exposures that offer ever-changing light. From this balance between nature and history, the wines of the Euganean Hills are born: the authentic expression of a unique territory.

The Denomination of Controlled Origin (DOC) and Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin (DOCG) labels – seals of quality awarded to wines produced in specific areas and according to strict rules, with the DOCG providing for even stricter controls and tasting by an official commission – reflect the richness of these hills: from the elegant and structured Colli Euganei Rosso DOC to the fresh and fragrant Serprino DOC, right through to the aromatic and seductive Fior d’Arancio DOCG. Each wine is a mirror of its terroir, beautifully combining minerality, freshness and intense aromas.

But what really make this area special are the wineries, which serve as guardians of tradition and innovation. One such company is Borin Vini e Vigne, where family passion is intertwined with a modern, sustainable vision and where every choice is guided by respect for the environment and the desire to innovate without losing their bond with the land. Their wines – from aromatic whites to age-worthy reds to the famous Fior d’Arancio – encapsulate the soul of the Euganean Hills. 

Wineries such as San Nazario pursue a biodynamic and sustainable vision, where caring for the vineyards represents a gesture of respect for the environment and for future generations. Finally, Vignalta, one of the wineries that has contributed most to making the Euganean Hills celebrated around the world, offers intense, age-worthy wines that express the power of the volcano and the finesse of the hills.

The Euganean Hills are studded with a diverse oenological constellation of cellars: Ca’ Lustra, Il Filò delle Vigne, Il Mottolo, Il Pianzio, Maeli, Marco Sambin, Monteversa, San Zibio, Tenuta San Basilio, Vigna Roda, Villa Alessi. Each of these wineries interprets the territory with its own personal style, giving voice to different terroirs, grape varieties and production philosophies. Together, they contribute to a collective heritage that makes the Euganean Hills one of the most interesting wine-growing areas in Italy.

Visiting these cellars is a chance to come into contact with the most authentic side of the territory: the passion of the families, the attention to detail, the choice to prioritise quality over quantity. A glass tasted here, between the rows or in the ageing rooms, is brimming with the history of the land, work and time.

There is no better way to discover the Euganean Hills than by exploring the vineyards and their stories. Each visit is an encounter with the producers, with the guardians of tradition, and with the innovators who are looking to the future. Let wine be your companion as you journey through discoveries, aromas and memories.

The Euganean Hills are an area to savour slowly, where every sip is a reflection of a special landscape and a thousand years of culture.

It is no coincidence that wines from these wineries are featured on the Tritone wine list. We have chosen to offer our guests an experience that takes them beyond tasting on a true oenological journey through the hills surrounding Abano Terme. Every glass served in the hotel restaurant tells a story of family, territory and passion.

The Tritone gastronomic experience is richly layered, allowing guests to savour the Euganean Hills through the landscapes, excursions and the wines that represents them. An invitation to get a deeper insight into a heritage that reveals all its elegance and authenticity in each glass.
