Montello Rosso

Wine · PDO · 18 municipalities

Within the Veneto region, across 18 municipalities including Asolo, Montello Rosso DOCG is produced as a distinct red blend, recognized since 2011. While neighboring zones focus on other varieties, this denomination mandates at least 40% Cabernet Sauvignon alongside Merlot, Cabernet Franc, or Carmenère. Uniquely, the product rules exclude a Riserva category. Instead, premium expressions must qualify as Superiore, which requires 24 months of aging, including 12 months in oak and six months in the bottle. This process yields a dry, sapid wine with a characteristic ruby-to-garnet color and a robust, slightly spicy finish.
