DOC area for red and white wines on the border between the Italian regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto. The area was created in 1968 by merging the previously independent DOC areas of Cabernet di Pramaggiore, Merlot di Pramaggiore and Tocai di Lison. The DOCG area of Lison is identical in terms of area. It stretches from the Adriatic coast in the south between the Tagliamento and Livenza rivers to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in the north. Viticulture here dates back to Roman times and was rationalised by the Benedictine order in the 10th century. The temperate climate is characterised by cool, dry north winds (Bora) and hot, humid south-east winds (Scirocco).
