About Veneto
Veneto is a region of dramatic differences, starting up high on the Dolomites, and rolling down to the Adriatic coast, including the historic cities of Venice, Verona, and Padua. Venetian cuisine is always trying to make the most of local ingredients. While pasta is made and eaten, it is far less common than polenta and rice. Veneto is one of the largest wine producers in the country and boasts a huge variety of products, from reds to whites, from passito to sparkling. On the shores of Lake Garda, a milder climate and deep, gravelly soil creates the perfect conditions for growing corvina and rondinella. A little further east at the base of the mountains, we find the well-known designations of Amarone della Valpolicella and Recioto della Valpolicella, the glory of Veneto’s viticulture. Other varieties include garganega, trebbiano and glera.
