Equipped with modern enological techniques and considerable respect for the traditions of the area, Terregaie flourishes in the small town of Vo', south of Padova, in the Colli Euganei DOC region. Love for wine is the bedrock upon which Terregaie was conceived 4 decades ago by Salvatore Lovo, at that time a young graduate of the Institute of Conegliano, and his wife Rita whose family had roots (pun intended) in the vineyards of Colli Euganei for over a century. Today Terregaie produces its wines from 100 hectares of vineyards, recovering ancient clones and vines typical of that area. The volcanic and calcareous origin of these soils allow production of excellent wines, embracing the minerality, freshness, and persistence of the terroir. Couple now joined by their daughter Silvia
at the western end of the Euganian Hills; a region steeped in winemaking tradition.
This modern and dynamic winery produces about 100,000 bottles of high quality estate grown Prosecco from the picturesque & highly favored hillsides. They also produce a selection of still wines. Centrally located in the heart of Veneto’s wine production area, the Terre Gaie Winery and Lovo family has been cultivating these lands for generations.
