Veneto Wines
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Veneto produces two of Italy's most recognizable wine categories: the red wines of Valpolicella and the sparkling Proseccos of Conegliano Valdobbiadene. The region's northeastern geography spans Alpine foothills, glacial moraines, and the volcanic soils of the Valpolicella Classico zone, where Corvina, Corvinone, and Rondinella are the dominant red varieties. Within Valpolicella, winemaking ranges from the lighter, fresh Classico style seen in Venturini Massimino's 2021, through the richness of Ripasso - where Villa Loren's 2015 referments on dried grape skins - to the full appassimento method behind Wine of the Sea's Amarone. To the north, the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG produces Glera-based Prosecco Superiore, with Sorelle Bronca and Ruggeri representing the hillside single-vineyard tradition, while Bellussi and Casa Canevel reflect the broader DOC appellation.
