Lison
Wine · PDO · 19 municipalities
Recognised since 2011, the Lison DOCG spans nineteen municipalities, including Annone Veneto and Caorle, where 148 verified producers cultivate the native Tai grape. To distinguish itself from neighbouring Veneto appellations, Lison completely rejects the common Riserva classification, focusing instead on youthful precision. The wine must contain at least 85% Tai, balancing a maximum yield of 11.0 tonnes per hectare with a minimum alcohol level of 12.0% volume. Free from mandatory aging constraints, this straw-yellow wine, noted for its dry, velvety palate and occasional hints of wood, is permitted for commercial release on January 1st immediately following the harvest.
