The cultivation of the vine, which spread in Roman times, developed after the year 1000 after the barbarian invasions, thanks to the passion of feudal lords, bishops, municipal administrations who recommended varieties, cultivation techniques and production standards to producers. Chronicles tell that since the thirteenth century the whole northern part of the Berici Hills was entirely planted with vines, as well as the hills of Barbarano, property of the bishop of Vicenza, who established the harvest and processing times so that, precisely in the most suitable period , the peasants were not distracted from taking care of their vineyards.
Moreover, in the caves of the Berici Hills, local wines were aged: the dark environment, at a constant and low temperature, ensured their good conservation.
The advent of the Venetian Republic gave a strong impulse to viticulture, as the Palladian villas still testify today, vacation spots of the rich Venetian aristocrats, who paid great attention to the construction criteria of the cellars.
In the nineteenth century, researches commissioned by the Archduke of Austria for the wines of Lombardo Veneto, highlighted technical aspects and choice of vines also for the wines of the Berici Hills. Since the early nineteenth century, alongside the two native vines of Garganega and Tocai rosso, in the Berici Hills, international vines have been imported from both France, and in particular from the Bordeaux area, and planted in the Berici Hills. over time they have developed peculiar characteristics in relation to the terrain and climate.
The Cabernet franc Colli Berici was the first Cabernet DOC in Italy .
With the rebirth of production in the 1950s, there has been a gradual refinement of the qualities, cultivation methods, of the same production organization that led on 20 September 1973 to the recognition by the Italian Ministry of the Controlled Designation of Origin. “Berici Hills”.

In 1982 the Voluntary Consortium for the Protection of Colli Berici DOC Wines was established .
The fame of the wines and the Berici Hills in the area is due both to the skills of the wine producers of the Colli Berici appellation, and to the commitment and synergies between the various economic players in the area (wineries, wineries, wine bars, distilleries, oil mills, farm holidays , bed & breakfast, trattorias, restaurants) which work in synergy to enhance the quality and reputation of the wines of the Berici Hills, respecting the territory and the landscape.
