Region
The Veneto region is a land of ancient winemaking traditions, which today boasts the record for the production of DOC certified wines in Italy. The production of these wines is characterized by a various selection of vineyards and wines and also by a strong vocation of quality.
As a result of its climatic and morphological features, much of the Veneto region is an area where excellent grapes are grown; the cultivation areas are located both in the flat area, which are very rich in watercourses, and on the hilly areas, which have both a mild climate and fertile land.

Veneto, a place to discover
Veneto is one of the most beautiful and fascinating areas in Italy with a long history of winemaking. It belongs to a group of three highly productive Italian regions known collectively as the Tre Venezie (after the Venetian Republic), which is a large area comprised today of the Italian regions of Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Alto Adige and Trentino, and Veneto. The region is protected from the harsh northern European climate by the Alps, the foothills of which form the Veneto's northern extremes. These cooler climates are well-suited to white varieties like Pinot Grigio while the warmer Adriatic coastal plains, river valleys, and the Lake area represent the places where the renowned Valpolicella red wines .
