VENETO
Veneto is Italy’s largest wine producing region in terms of volume as well as the leader in volume of classified wines. Veneto has
three main areas of premium wine production: the western province of Verona in the hills between Lake Garda and the town of
Soave; the central hills in the provinces of Vicenza, Padova and Treviso; and the eastern plains of the Piave and the Tagliamento
River basins along the Adriatic coast northeast of Venice.
Veneto’s classic wines are bona fide natives. Soave from the Garganega, Valpolicella made from a blend of Corvina, Corvinone, and
Rondinella grapes that can also be partly dried and made into the rich, full-bodied Amarone.
Lastly and maybe most importantly the Veneto has one of Italy’s favorite exports, Prosecco. Prosecco is predominantly made of
Glera which is made in the Charmat Method which became the most famous in this region.
