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.
