Zona di produzione
More than 2500 hectares of vineyards, 1500 wine enterprises, 21 municipal administrations make D.O.C. “Arcole” one of the most interesting areas to set new production objectives in the context of qualified oenology productions of Veneto. The D.O.C. “Arcole” was founded in September 2000, bringing together an original heritage of history and viticulture to further qualify a territory of great tradition between the provinces of Verona and Vicenza. In the province of Verona the production area comprises of the entire territory of the municipalities of Arcole, Cologna Veneta, Albaredo d’Adige, Zimella, Veronella, Zevio, Belfiore d’Adige and part of the municipalities of Caldiero, San Bonifacio, Soave, Colognola ai Colli, Monteforte d’Alpone, Lavagno, Pressana, Roveredo di Gua’ and San Martino Buon Albergo. In the province of Vicenza, it comprises the entire area of the municipalities of Lonigo, Sarego, Alonte, Orgiano and Sossano. The territory presents itself as uniformly flat in the south-western part, which is a typical characteristic of an alluvial plain, while the hilly area starts with the Motta relief in San Bonifacio and to the east with a part of the Berici mountains. The lands of the plain destined to be used as vineyards are predominantly of a sandy-clay nature. In fact the plain is morphologically varied by the presence of hillocks, terraces and slopes with no more than ten meters of altitude; the soils are deep and sometimes they are equipped with sand, even to a significant degree. The hilly area consists of lands varied in nature, from the red type, which is high in clay, to the white limestone type and there are also those very rich in shells.
