Tai between the Tagliamento and Livenza

A river plain near the Venetian coast gives Lison its local setting.

Lison’s vineyards lie on a plain between the Tagliamento and Livenza, near the Venetian coast. The specification describes alluvial soils with a clay-rich surface and a layer locally called caranto beneath it. Tai is the principal grape. The denomination also allows the Classico designation, giving the full label a more precise local meaning.

A delimited area across three provinces

The grape area includes named whole municipalities and defined parts of others in the provinces of Venice, Treviso and Pordenone. Its boundaries also exclude specified reclaimed areas; Classico has its own delimited area.
