The Tenuta Polvaro vineyard is located in the Lison Pramaggiore area, just a few km from Venice. Its lands are known for the production of great red wines such as Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The depth of the precious clayey soil allows the roots to search for all the elements necessary for the balance of the bunch and, therefore, of the wine. The climate, which is affected by its proximity to the sea, nurtures the vines at just the perfect temperature range and amount of ventilation for the grapes to mature in perfect health.
