TERREGAIE

Renowned for their winemaking heritage- 

Salvatore Lovo, together with his wife Rita Ferasin and their daughter Silvia, manages the family-owned Terregaie winery in Vo', located at the western end of the Euganian Hills—a region renowned for its long-standing and rich winemaking heritage. The modern and innovative winery is dedicated to producing approximately 100,000 bottles of high-quality Prosecco each year, meticulously grown on the picturesque and highly esteemed hillsides of the Province of Padova. Situated at the very core of Veneto’s vibrant wine-producing region, the Terre Gaie Winery and the Lovo family have been nurturing and cultivating these vineyards for many generations. The winery, established in 2004, proudly stands on the Lovo and Ferasin farmlands, which have been part of the family lineage since the 18th century. Spanning approximately 50 hectares (about 120 acres) of southwest-facing vineyards, the estate primarily cultivates a variety of indigenous and classic grape varieties. The winemaking process at Terregaie is a harmonious blend of cutting-edge modern technology and time-honored traditional wisdom, truly reflective of the family's deep-rooted and extensive expertise in the intricate art of winemaking.

  • ABOUT The Euganean Hills (Italian: Colli Euganei)

    Colli Euganei are a group of hills of volcanic origin that rise to heights of 300 to 600 m from the Padovan-Venetian plain a few km south of Padua. The Colli Euganei form the first Regional park established in the Veneto (1989), enclosing fifteen towns and eighty-one hills.

    The Euganean Hills were formed in a sub-marine outwelling of basaltic lava during the Eocene, which was followed in the Oligocene by an episode of activity characterized by viscous magma, which formed deposits of trachyte.
