Creating a wine list involves not only selecting the best labels while considering diners’ tastes but also <\/span>\u00a0understanding the unique characteristics and value of the pertinent<\/b> terroir – which can change over time. Knowing how to follow the evolution of each territory and grasp its positive changes is the task of <\/span>\u00a0Mirco, the Sommelier at Hotel Tritone. <\/span><\/a>\u00a0Mirco’s research and studies have led to a rich wine list with many great labels from the Euganean Hills. He himself tells us about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A HISTORICAL AND RECENTLY EVOLVING VITICULTURE<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u201cToday restaurateurs and sommeliers can develop <\/span>\u00a0a complete wine list with only the labels of the Euganean Hills,”<\/b> explains Mirco. \u201cThis is because there are a variety of grapes, classic long-ageing methods, and niche wines\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Viticulture in the Euganean Hills has very ancient origins: several historical documents prove that the Venetian Doges loved these vineyards, even if at the time the wines produced were very different from what they are now. Indeed, the<\/span>\u00a0quality <\/b>we know today dates back only to the <\/span>\u00a0last two generations of <\/b>\u00a0winemakers.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

A UNIQUE TERROIR<\/b><\/h3>\n

The production of Euganean Hills wines takes place at the <\/span>\u00a0“Colli Euganei” Regional Park <\/b>located in the centre of the Venetian plain. This terroir is not vast like other more famous surrounding areas (Valdobbiadene, Soave, Valpolicella) and, as explained by the Sommelier of the Hotel Tritone, it has a different qualitative history.<\/span><\/p>\n

The peculiarities of this territory are unique: there are not only vineyards but also wooded areas, cherry trees, other fruit trees, and olive trees for the production of excellent extra virgin olive oil. There is respect for biodiversity here, and many local businesses work with <\/span>\u00a0biodynamic certification.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the<\/span>\u00a0soil <\/b>\u00a0is highly diversified because the origin of the hills is both volcanic and submarine. The soil contains limestone and minerals which, together with the different <\/span>altimetric positions<\/b> and the different <\/span>levels of exposure to the sun, <\/b>\u00a0allow the cultivation of multiple vines.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

THE WINES OF THE EUGANEAN HILLS<\/b><\/h3>\n

Red grapes include the Bordeaux classics, as well as Pinot Noir, Shirahz and Raboso.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also numerous <\/span>white<\/b>\u00a0grapes such as Chardonnay, White Pinot. Sauvignon, Tai, Garganega, Pinella, Serprino, White Moscato, and Yellow Moscato. The latter is called Fior d’Arancio in the production area of the Euganean Hills; it is the only one to have the DOCG designation.\u00a0 This wine is produced in dry, sweet sparkling and passito versions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0There are also excellent <\/span>ros\u00e9 wines<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> which we have already discussed in this blog. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The producers in the area are all medium-sized or small businesses and are all family-run. Despite this, for several years now they have been able to customize their products with excellent results: they participate in <\/span>\u00a0regional and international competitions <\/b>\u00a0and have won top awards and certifications.<\/span><\/p>\n
