Colli Euganei
Wine · PDO · 17 municipalities
Established in 1973 in Veneto, the Colli Euganei DOC covers seventeen municipalities, including Abano Terme. Unlike nearby appellations with flat yield maximums, this denomination applies variety-specific limits for its red blend components, ranging from 12.0 t/ha for Cabernet and Carmenère to 14 t/ha for Raboso. Furthermore, the Riserva tier enforces a rigid cap of 9 t/ha (2 kg per plant) alongside 24 months of aging starting November 1st of the vintage year. This aging process elevates the minimum alcohol to 12.0% and shifts the sensory profile from the base wine's potentially off-dry character to a strictly dry, sapid finish.
