The vineyards, lovingly cared for like gardens, are immersed in the harmonious rural landscape that evokes ancient traditions and cultures. The estate extends over almost 100 hectares of green vineyards between Eastern Veneto and Friuli, an area where viticulture and oenology enjoy an ancient and renowned tradition.
In this area, the love of wine and wine-growing goes back as far as Roman times: in the first century A.D., Pliny described this fertile centurial area as an immense vineyard and spoke of the ships that sailed from the Upper Adriatic ports to Rome, filled with wine amphorae. Centuries later, the Republic of Venice imported the 'noble drink', which was traded throughout its domain.
It is precisely in the Lison area that artefacts have recently been found that bear witness to the area's oenological past. Read more

| Climate | Altitude: 450 m. a.s.l. |
| Soil composition | The soils are produced by the alteration of calcareous-fossiliferous formations, in particular red flake and biancone. |
| Harvest | The harvest takes place in several stages during the last two weeks of September to allow the grapes to ripen optimally. The grapes are harvested by hand and left to dry in the drying room. |
| Wine making | The grapes, harvested in boxes, remain in the drying room until December/January. The loss of water, a consequence of the drying period, favours the concentration of all substances in the grapes. Fermentation and maceration take place in small steel vats. |
| Aging | This is followed by the final fermentation and maturation in 500 000 litre oak casks, where the new wine will remain for about 18-24 months. The Amarone refines further in the bottle until it reaches optimum maturity. |
| Total acidity | 6.2 gr/L |
