Colli di Conegliano

About the wine

Colli di Conegliano DOCG, established in 2011, represents a diverse viticultural heritage in the Treviso province of Veneto. The denomination encompasses a range of styles, from structured dry whites and reds to highly specialized passito wines. The white wines are typically blends of Manzoni Bianco, Pinot Bianco, and Chardonnay, while the reds rely on a mix of Cabernet, Merlot, and Marzemino. The DOCG is perhaps best known for its two traditional passito specialties: the rare, white Torchiato di Fregona, made from Glera, Verdiso, and Boschera, and the red Refrontolo, produced primarily from Marzemino. The region’s unique microclimate, characterized by alpine protection and cooling breezes, facilitates the natural drying of grapes, essential for these complex, long-aged sweet wines. The area is historically significant, home to Italy's first school of viticulture and enology, reflecting a deep-rooted commitment to technical precision and quality.
