Vicenza
Wine · PDO · 81 municipalities
Established in 2004, the Vicenza DOC spans 81 municipalities, including Agugliaro and Arcugnano, where only 28 verified producers bottle under this designation. What sets the Vicenza denomination apart from its Veneto neighbors is its specific blending rules: the rosso blend must contain at least 50% Merlot, regulated to a maximum yield of 16.0 tonnes per hectare, resulting in dry, fresh red wines with distinct forest fruit aromas. Furthermore, the appellation's sweet passito wines require a strict grape selection yielding no more than 50% juice, which must naturally reach a minimum of 16% alcohol by volume before consumption.
