Lison is a distinguished white grape variety predominantly found in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of northeastern Italy. Celebrated for its refined aromatics, Lison delivers a nuanced bouquet of delicate white flowers, ripe pear, apple, wild herbs, and a subtle almond nuance. On the palate, wines crafted from Lison are typically dry, displaying a well-balanced freshness, soft texture, and a gentle minerality that lends elegance and length to the finish.
Lison wines are classically vinified as still whites, most notably within the Lison DOCG and Lison-Pramaggiore DOC appellations. These wines tend to embrace a medium body, moderate alcohol, and restrained oak usage, highlighting the grape’s vibrant fruit profile and aromatic finesse.
Pairing options are versatile, making Lison an excellent choice for regional Italian cuisine. It harmonises beautifully with fresh seafood, shellfish, risottos, and vegetable-based antipasti. White meats, such as roast chicken or turkey with delicate herbs, also pair elegantly, as do mild cheeses. This versatility, combined with Lison’s aromatic character and crisp acidity, affirms its growing reputation among discerning wine enthusiasts.
