It can also be a semi-sparkling wine. Colli Trevigiani PGI Rosso, alone or with specification of grape variety, is pale red, which darkens into ruby red and at times garnet red; depending on the areas and grape varieties, the nose can either display hints of fruit and bush berries or grassy notes; depending on the grape varieties, the fruity notes return on the palate, and the length of maturation determines the structure and sapidity. It is also fresh on the palate, with a full flavour, good tannins and good acidic balance. It can also be a semi-sparkling or Novello wine. Colli Trevigiani PGI Rosato, alone or with specification of grape variety, is pink, varying in intensity; the nose displays delicate fruity fragrances; it is dry, harmonious and fresh on the palate, with the characteristics of the grape variety of origin.

A maximum of 15% of similarly-coloured grapes originating from other grape varieties suitable for cultivation in the concerned area can be used, pure or combined, to produce the above-mentioned musts and wines.

The Colli Trevigiani PGI with the specification of one or two of the grape varieties can also be produced as a semi-sparkling or Novello wine, the latter being made exclusively with red grape varieties. Colli Trevigiani PGI wines with specification of grape variety must display the organoleptic properties of the specified grape variety, as well as the specific characteristics indicated for wines of the same colour.
