Set in the vineyards of the Euganean Hills, Villa Sceriman is an ancient rural complex from the 16th century, a lesser work of Palladio.
The earliest known and documented historical information dates back to 1427 and links it to the noble Padovan family of Santa Sofia.
In 1740, the Sceriman family, wealthy shipowners of Armenian origin with holdings in Venice since 1200, acquire the property (3500 hectares), which is divided among numerous tenants, and the house retains 25 hectares of land dedicated to viticulture.
In 1959, the manor house, acquired by the Soranzo family, is completely restored (bringing to light some frescoes in the internal rooms), the surroundings are expanded, and the estate, originally mixed-crop (grapes, olives, wheat, corn, barley, and fruit), specializes in grape cultivation, winemaking, and bottling of wines.
