Since the Middle Ages the name “Marca Trevigiana” referred to the province of Treviso, a border area between the Republic of Venice – which ruled over this territory until its fall in 1797 – and northern Germanic countries. It was the area where the Republic had its wine estates as well as being the place of departure of wine trades along the ancient “Via Alemagna” towards Austria, Central Europe and Germany.

The combination of the fertile soil and the joyful and industrious character of its inhabitants earned it the definition of “Marca Gioiosa”, as it is still called in addition to Marca or Marca Trevigiana.

Many texts and renowned guides attest that the Marca Trevigiana is an historical and well-reputed land of wine. One of the first wine research institutes and wine school in Europe was located precisely in the Marca, allowing the development and spreading of wine culture not only among experts but also among locals.

The reputation of our terroir is also due to the beauty of the landscape and to the geography of the area – the hills with vineyards face southwards, so that they are constantly exposed to light and breeze. This allows the vines to thrive, especially those producing white sparkling fruity wines. The fluvial and sedimentary origin of the lowland’s soil is particularly suited not only to white grape varieties, but also to the rosé and red ones. The result is a perfect balance between aroma and colour intensity.

The Province of Treviso ranks among the first places in Italy for the production of quality wines, with many DOC and DOCG areas, offering a highly diversified and complete range of products. The Marca Trevigiana is located in the heart of Europe, a few hours from the main European capitals.
