Ca' Lustra is a collection of wine-sites: the area is not well known or particularly well described, but it is exactly this lack of fame and riches that has forced Ca’Lustra to discover and exploit its’ abundance of natural resources. Ca’Lustra believes in working in harmony with the land by letting it dictate the cadence and the means of their work. They are amply repaid by the superb tastes offered by its products where the personality of each site is singularly concentrated.

The secret behind the running of Ca'Lustra lies in the combination of a good knowledge of their land and a respectful, passionate round-the-clock engagement in all the phases of wine-production. They care for 32 hectares of vineyards, in addition to 15 hectares of chestnut wood, olive-trees and grazing land. Franco in the wine cellar, Ivano in the vineyard and Giorgio in the wine shop avail themselves of the dedicated help from several well-motivated hands, all enthusiastically focused on quality and satisfaction. Their work in the Euganean Hills, (which is a "Parco Regionale" i.e. an area protected under the Italian National Trust) is not only a commercial operation in itself, but also a contribution to preserve a unique landscape of hamlets in the middle of the bustling life of southern Veneto.
