Asolo Montello
Wine · PDO · 18 municipalities
Recognized since 1982 in Veneto, the Asolo Montello DOC distinguishes itself from neighboring white-wine appellations through its robust, wood-aged reds. The standard red blend requires a minimum of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon alongside at least 30% Merlot, Cabernet Franc, or Carmenere, yielding a minimum alcohol content of 12.0% vol after spending at least 6 months in wood. Crucially, the denomination isolates the highly specific Venegazz subzone within the municipality of Volpago del Montello. For these subzone wines, the disciplinare demands 50% to 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and mandates an extended 24-month aging period, including 12 months in oak barrels and a mandatory cork-only closure.
