Producer Information

In 1955, 33 keen vine-growers coming from Montecchio Maggiore and the neighbouring towns founded the "Cantina Sociale dei Colli Vicentini", in the heart of Veneto renowned for its ancient, qualified vine-growing tradition.

Since then the cellar has made great progress, constantly engaged in the improvement of the quality of its products by adapting the most up-to-date technologies and by conforming to the different market demands.

The commitment undertaken by Colli Vicentini is to concentrate on the quality of the wines by safeguarding the characteristics of vines and by maintaining local traditions.

Veneto, where viticulture has been flourishing and improving for centuries, is the Italian region which produces the greatest quantity of DOC wines. The soil structure of these areas, which are beaten by cold winds coming from the north but also protected by high mountain ranges, together with its favourable setting in the sun creates the optimal climate for vine-growing.

Wine Making

Grapes are picked by hand to allow careful selection of the fruit. Fermentation is in stainless steel tanks. Must ferments with maceration on the skins, extracting colour, tannin and flavour from Cabernet’s thick skins. Controlled fermentation at about 24–26 °C, keeping fruit definition and avoiding harsh tannins. Short maturation partly in stainless steel and partly in wood (barrels), giving a balance of fresh fruit and gentle spice.

Tasting Note

Intense ruby red with red fruit and spice; full-bodied, dry, velvety, with subtle cocoa notes.

Food Matching

Pair with roasted and grilled red meats, roast duck, game birds and mushroom dishes.
