Corti Benedettine del Padovano
Wine · PDO · 31 municipalities
Established in 2006 across 31 Veneto municipalities including Agna, the Corti Benedettine del Padovano designation defines its blended wines through highly specific component-based rules. Unlike appellations with blanket yield limits, this DOC regulates maximum grape yields per individual variety within its blends. For the base red, which must contain at least 60% Merlot and at least 10% Raboso Piave or Raboso Veronese, the yield limit is set by its components, capping Merlot at 15.0 tons per hectare and Raboso at 14.0 tons per hectare. This dry, ruby-red blend reaches a minimum of 11.0% alcohol by volume, developing characteristic garnet tones and a velvety profile as it ages.
