Veneto is Italy’s most productive region in the north east. Best known for its DOC districts in Valpolicella and Soave, which produce wines made with the Corvina and Garganega grape varieties respectively, the rest of Veneto varies quite substantially with bulk production of table wines and large volumes of Prosecco. With well over 20 DOC zones, genuine quality is never far away, maybe just a little difficult to find truly outstanding wines. The best bet for a premium wine which is symbolic of Veneto is no doubt a top end Amarone Della Valpolicella, which is a complex and uniquely powerful yet classic red.
