Calegaro Francesco

On the slopes of the Colli Euganei, in Teolo in the Padua area, Calegaro Francesco cultivates Moscato giallo within a single denomination: the Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio DOCG. Since 1964, the company has been housed in an 18th-century noble villa, whose restorations have revived the rooms overlooking the hills and brought to light the ancient cellars with their brick vaults. From a single grape variety, the company produces a whole spectrum of styles — aromatic white, sparkling, and passito — maintaining control over the entire supply chain, from vineyard to bottle. The denomination, seemingly circumscribed, thus reveals itself as a field of variations, where the same Moscato changes register depending on the winemaking process. Visitors to Teolo will find the villa's architecture, laboratories, and processing departments all together: a visit that sequentially explores the noble house, the vaulted cellars, and the point where Moscato giallo becomes wine. It's worth booking to experience the entire journey, from the vineyard on the hills to the cellar.
