Originating from centuries-old traditions and knowledge the Veneto area is a historic wine region located in the northeast of Italy. It stretches from the foothills of the Dolomites in the north, to the lowland of the Adriatic Sea southeast and shores of Lake Garda in the west. Venice, the capital of Veneto, is a popular tourist destination that attracts millions of visitors to this region every year.
The varying landscapes of the area have created different mesoclimates that allow winemakers to cultivate a variety of world-class grapes across the spectrum. Popular white varieties include Prosecco, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio wines as well as distinct red vines from Corvina to Cabernet and Merlot. On the scale of Italian wine production, the Veneto region is responsible for 8 million hectolitres of wine each year, and the quality of wine being produced in this region is shown by their wine designations. The Veneto region is home to 28 DOC and 14 DOCG wines which, under Italian wine law, is the highest classification of quality available among Italian wines.
