Colli di Conegliano Doc
The wines of the Veneto region have always been synonymous to high-quality wines. Famous and appreciated both in Italy and abroad, the Docs of this region are distinguished from others for the quantities produced. The varieties of cultivated vineyards in Veneto are numerous, as are also the number of different methods of growing vines such as the trellised vines of the Verona area. The DOC Colli di Conegliano includes the Bianco, Rosso, Refrontolo Passito and Torchiato di Fregona versions.

The Bianco is served with lobster salad, rice with sepia, baccalà, soup, and is served in flared tulip-shaped chalices at 8-10°C. The Rosso is served with meat, such as lamb loins, pickled pork, Asiago and Piave cheese, rice in Treviso style and chicory. It is served in Bordeaux chalices at a temperature of 16-18°C. The Colli di Conegliano Doc Torchiato di Fregona is used in the preparation of sweets and unleavened cakes such as jam tarts, chestnut and honey cakes, 'baicoli' cakes (typical Venetian biscuits which are dipped in wine), and very spicy herbal cheese. It is served in tulip-shaped chalices at a temperature of 10-12°C, within three years after vintage and more.
