Informations about region

Veneto (Venice), a wine region belonging to the leading producers of wine, particularly white wines.

Its area is 18 364 km2 and largely is a plain. Historically, the Veneto produces the most wine as much as 20% of national production.

In the twentieth century, phylloxera (vine disease) ravaged almost all vineyards, therefore were introduced the grape varieties of French origin such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Franc. Fortunately, survived some indigenous grape types that today are dominating. The most famous of these is the Prosecco from which is made the wine called with the same name, though the proper name of the grape variety is glera. The best production area of Prosecco is situated in the environs of Treviso, precisely in the Conegliano - Valdobbiadene zone including the Cartizze and Colli Asolani subzones. Sparkling wines are very popular in Italy alone but also among the international clientele, while Prosecco is one of the most recognizable among sparkling types of wine.

White wines, matching best with regional cuisine based on fish and seafood fished in the Adriatic Sea, are characterized by tenderness, freshness and lightness. This type of wine is obtained from indigenous grape varieties like Fiulano Tokai (now fiulano) or Garganega (a famous wine from the Soave zone called with the same name) and many other international grapes well naturalized in the prevailing climate here: Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio.

The typical red wines of the region are Valpolicella and Bardolino. Both varieties are made from the same native grapes: Corvina, Molinara and Rondinella. The grapes are cultivated in the Classical zone near Verona and in the Superiore version are distinguished by a fruity bouquet and good structure. The flagship wine of the region undoubtedly is Amarone della Valpolicella , whose popularity in recent years has greatly increased. This unique wine is made from grapes subjected to the drying process (so-called appassimento). After harvesting grapes are placed on special racks and left for several months to concentrate a higher sugar content. Then they undergo the process of vinification and long aging, first in oak barrels and then in bottle. The name of the Amarone wine derives from the Italian word amaro and means bitter. Due to the unique winemaking process this wine has indeed a rich, almost pomegranate color, rich texture and structure and is characterized by a slightly bitter but soft and pleasant note. It is worth mentioning that the method of obtaining this noble drink has not changed over the centuries. According to the existing historical records its origins date back to the fourth century after Christ.

Veneto does not only mean wine but also excellent olive oil. Its favorable mild climate provides the suitable conditions for the growth of olive trees here. The production area, particularly known for the quality of extravergine olive oil is situated in the coast of Lake Garda. The olive oil produced here belongs to the category DOP - Denominazione di Origine Protetta-Protected Designation of Origin.
