Steep sides embroidered by the rows. Small villages on which pointed bell towers stand out. Ups and downs dotted with ancient rural houses built in stone. If you listen, you can still hear the vats boiling, the pot of polenta that grunts on the fire, the chicks that peep behind mother clucking, the heat of the sun that feeds the grapes. On the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, nature and man have interacted for centuries, in perpetual exchange. The watchword for maintaining balance is respect.

It is not a natural landscape, but a cultural one; thus defined by Article 1 of the UNESCO Convention, which protects the world cultural heritage. The hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene are part of the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. It is a cultural landscape as it is shaped by the interaction between man and nature. (from the UNESCO application dossier). Nature, architecture, art, tradition and viticultural innovation are the elements that, mixed together, distinguish the hilly landscape of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene.
