First meeting of traditional products and their producers from the Strada dei Vini Lison-Pramaggiore DOC association.
The charming rooms of the Hotel Monaco & Grand Canal in Piazza San Marco hosted the 2008 harvest of Lison-Pramaggiore DOC wines. Moletto was represented by its Lison Classico DOC Lison-Pramaggiore 2008, along with its Pinot Bianco DOC LP 2008, Cabernet Franc DOC LP 2008 and Cabernet Sauvignon Selecti IGT Veneto Orientale 2003. This was the first year the event has been held and the goal is to repeat the experience every year, organized in Venice which offers a showcase with international reach. The president of the Strada dei Vini, Francesca Amadio, was pleased and she commented: "This event marks the first major result of the synergy between enogastronomic producers in the association. We hope, in the future, to create other new events to promote what is special and unique about our area. This DOC embraces nineteen municipalities in the Eastern Veneto region and twenty-five wineries, and its objective is to create concerted cooperation to defend the attributes of the specific environment in which it is born." "When speaking of drinkability," added Antonio Geretto, one of the advisors to the Strada dei Vini association and coordinator of this event, "it is not just light, easy-drinking wines that should come to mind. Drinkability is a characteristic that marks all wines that are refined, elegant and harmonious; it should not be confused with a way of describing structure or complexity. From this standpoint, in the Lison-Pramaggiore area we produce drinkable wines that communicate the characteristics of the varietal and fill the senses." It is significant that all producers were present at the Biennial, a sign of their commitment to promote the specific characteristics of their DOC products as a coherent group.
