The structural characteristics of the thin stratified sedimentary rock
of the Monti Lessini can be imagined observing the massive vault of the
world's largest natural bridge in Veja. In the mountain villages,
the roofs are still covered with natural stone slabs. Extremely valuable
marble is quarried and exported all over the world, such as the Biancone
and the Rosso di Verona.
Everywhere in the Tramigna valley, the vineyards and olive groves
are dotted with cherry trees. For this reason, the valley is also called
the "Valle dei Ciliegi", the valley of cherry trees. These cherry
trees scattered around the valley, a veritable sea of flowers when they
are in blossom, are clear evidence that the winegrowers stand by a method
of cultivation that is environmentally-friendly but has been tried and
tested for hundreds of years.
Cazzano di Tramigna, a wine village, is located in the upper part of the
valley, where also the "Viticoltori Valtramigna" winery is situated.
