Veneto

The Veneto (pronounced VEN-uh-toh) super-region in northeastern Italy is the engine room of Italian wine. The area sweeps inland of the Gulf of Venice from the Slovenian border west to Verona. It is a transitional region, sitting between the Alpine north and the drier central lands; Veneto enjoys a balmy Mediterranean climate that makes it a haven for vineyards. Veneto is famous for its prosecco and prosecco rosé, but also produces crisp, aromatic whites like Pinot Grigio and mouthwatering reds such as Sangiovese and Merlot.
