AboutCantina Colli Euganei
Local growers founded Cantina Colli Euganei in 1949 to help rebuild winegrowing after the war, making their first cooperative vintage in 1951. It now brings together about 680 growers in the Euganean Hills, south-west of Padua in Veneto.
Their vineyards span volcanic hills, varied slopes and exposures, growing both local and international grape varieties. The cooperative supports its members with vineyard advice throughout the growing season.
Cantina Colli Euganei 2024 Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie DOC
Italian White
Made entirely from Pinot Grigio, the grapes come from Padua vineyards on volcanic and sedimentary soils. Harvest runs from late August into early September. Soft pressing and controlled-temperature fermentation are used. Straw-yellow colour shows green highlights. The aroma is intense and fruit-led; the palate is dry, balanced and structured. The wine carries Delle Venezie DOC and contains 12.5 percent alcohol.
Cantina Colli Euganei 2024 Rosso DOC
Italian Red
Ruby colour can show purple highlights, followed by intense small red and black berries. The wine is dry, full and enveloping. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Raboso Veronese form the blend. The vineyards lie within the Colli Euganei DOC on volcanic and sedimentary soils, and the grapes are harvested by hand from mid-September to mid-October.
Cantina Colli Euganei 2023 Rialto Merlot Colli Euganei
Italian Red
Dark berry fruit fills the palate from the first sip, generous and full-flavoured without feeling heavy. Bright freshness and juicy lift give the wine an easy, energetic shape, while soft, harmonious tannins frame the fruit rather than dominate it. The finish is smooth and uncomplicated. Serve slightly cool with pizza, tomato-rich pasta, grilled sausages or simple roast chicken.
