The Veneto region

History

Viticulture in the Veneto has very ancient origins, dating back to Roman times. Over the centuries, the cultivation of vines has developed and consolidated, resulting in wines of great prestige and international recognition.

Geography

Veneto is located in the north-east of Italy and extends from the Dolomites to the Venice lagoon. The region has a remarkable diversity of landscapes and terroirs, which is reflected in the variety of wines produced.

Climate

The climate of the Veneto is characterized by cold, rainy winters and hot, humid summers, with considerable temperature variations between day and night. These climatic conditions favor the ripening of the grapes and the expression of complex aromas and flavours.

Native vines

Garganega

Garganega is the most widespread white grape variety in the Veneto region, mainly used for the production of Soave. The wines obtained from the Garganega are fresh, elegant and aromatic, with notes of white flowers and white pulp fruit.

Raven

Corvina is a typical red grape of the Veneto region, used above all in the production of Amarone della Valpolicella and Valpolicella Ripasso. The wines produced with Corvina are characterized by a good structure, soft tannins and fruity and spicy notes.

Raboso

Raboso is another native red grape variety from the Veneto region, known for its acidity andtannins. The wines obtained from Raboso are intense, persistent and long-lived, ideal for ageing.

Wine classifications

DOCG

Veneto has numerous wines classified as DOCG (Denomination of Controlled and Guaranteed Origin), including Amarone della Valpolicella, Recioto di Soave and Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene.

DOC

The region also boasts several DOC denominations (Controlled Designation of Origin), such as Bardolino, Valpolicella, Soave and Lugana, which attest to the quality and typicality of the wines produced.

IGT extension

Finally, wines that do not fall under the DOC and DOCG denominations can be classified as IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) Veneto, a more flexible category that allows the use of a wider range of grape varieties and production methods.

Red wines from Veneto

Amarone della Valpolicella

Amarone della Valpolicella is a full-bodied and structured red wine, produced with dried and fermented grapes to obtain a high concentration of sugars and alcohol. It has notes of dried fruit, spices and chocolate, with a long and persistent finish.

Bardolino

Bardolino is a light and fruity red wine, mainly produced with Corvina and Rondinella grapes. It is characterized by its freshness and drinkability, with notes of cherry and red fruits.

Valpolicella Ripasso

Valpolicella Ripasso is a red wine obtained through a "ripasso" process, i.e. the fermentation of Valpolicella on Amarone pomace. The result is a more full-bodied and complex wine, with notes of ripe fruit, spices and tobacco.

White wines of the Veneto

Sweet

Soave is a dry and mineral white wine, mainly produced with Garganega grapes. It has floral, white-fleshed fruit and almond notes, with a fresh and savory finish.

Prosecco

Prosecco is a sparkling white wine, produced with Glera grapes and fermented according to the Charmat method. It is characterized by a creamy froth, notes of flowers and fresh fruit and a soft and pleasant finish.

Lugano

Lugana is a white wine produced with Turbiana grapes, grown in the area between Veneto and Lombardy. It is an elegant and refined wine, with notes of white flowers, fruit and minerals.

Production method

Withering

Appassimento is a drying process of the grapes, used in the production of Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto di Soave. The dried grapes concentrate the sugars and aromas, giving the wines a unique and distinctive character.

Charmat method

The Charmat method is used for the production of Prosecco and involves a second fermentation in an autoclave, which gives the wine its characteristic effervescence.

Classic method

The classic method, used for some Veneto sparkling wines such as Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano-Valdobbiadene, involves a second fermentation in the bottle and a period of aging on the lees, which gives the wine greater complexity and finesse.

Food pairings

The wines of Veneto go perfectly with the local cuisine, rich in flavors and traditions. Red wines, such as Amarone and Valpolicella Ripasso, go well with meat and game dishes, while white wines, such as Soave and Lugana, go well with fish and vegetable dishes.
