WINE AND LANDSCAPE: THE COLLI EUGANEI CONSORTIUM ALSO TOASTS TO UNESCO

An important goal for the Veneto and for Italy, to the achievement of which viticulture also contributed significantly.

<< The inclusion of the Euganean Hills in the List of UNESCO World Biodiversity Reserves is an extraordinary opportunity for our territory and for our wine . – Says the president of the Consorzio Tutela Colli Euganei Gianluca Carraro. - We have supported the candidacy from the beginning, of which we feel we are an active part. Our viticulture is an expression of biodiversity, just think that over 30 different vines are grown here. >> A biodiversity that also involves attention to the environment, with respect for landscape constraints, and the use of low-impact cultivation techniques thanks to which hundreds of animal and plant life forms are preserved. << Our vineyards cover a considerable area of the Park, over 3000 hectares, and contribute to the protection and conservation of the territory. With their daily work, producers are committed to the management of water, forests and soil, a fundamental role today in light of climate changes which are manifesting themselves more and more frequently . >> Carraro concludes.

In addition to representing a reason for pride and further protection, the recognition will contribute to making this splendid area and its wine known throughout the world.
