Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio
Wine · PDO · 17 municipalities
Established as a DOCG in 2011, Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio is distinct among Veneto's white wine designations for its strict focus on Moscato giallo, which must comprise at least 95 percent of the blend. Produced across 17 municipalities, including Abano Terme, by 167 verified producers, this denomination yields diverse styles from still to spumante and passito. While standard yields are capped at 12.0 tonnes per hectare, the highly concentrated passito version imposes a strict maximum grape-to-wine yield of just 40 percent. This passito variant requires a minimum of twelve months of maturation starting from November 1 of the harvest year, achieving a minimum total alcohol content of 15.50 percent by volume.
