D.O.C. wines are: Merlara Bianco - a blend comprising 50-70% of Tocai friulano and the remainder of other white grapes -, Merlara Bianco frizzante (sparkling), Merlara Tai, Merlara Malvasia, Merlara Rosso - a Merlot, Cabernet and Marzemino blend -, Merlara Cabernet, Merlara Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlara Merlot, Merlara Marzemino frizzante (sparkling) and Merlara novello.

The territory is home to a number of places of interest, such as the historical town walls of Montagnana, Villa Correr in Casale di Scodosia, Villa Barbarigo in Merlara and Villa Fascinato in Terrazzo.

The beauty of the landscape the area has to offer is appreciable. Each season characterises and changes the landscapes of valleys against the backdrop of the Euganean and Berici Hills, a unique view. In spring, the orchards blossom and the emerald green of the vines provides a charming view of the landscape. In summer, the golden expanses of wheat fields are a wonderful sight glimpsed between the Adige and Fratta rivers. In autumn, the colour of leaves in the vineyards, exposed to the sun, reflect golden and reddish shades all around.
