          Veneto wine questions

          What wine is the Veneto known for?

          The Veneto, in northeast Italy around Venice and Verona, is one of Italy's largest wine regions. It's known for Prosecco, Soave, pinot grigio, Valpolicella, Ripasso and Amarone. Bardolino and Lugana from around Lake Garda are popular too. It produces both everyday wines and some of Italy's most prestigious reds.

          What is Amarone?

          Amarone della Valpolicella is a dry red made from corvina, corvinone and rondinella grapes that are dried for several months after harvest, a process called appassimento. The grapes lose much of their water, concentrating sugar and flavor. Amarone is rich and powerful, with dried cherry, raisin, chocolate and spice, and usually 15 to 16% alcohol.

          What is Soave made from?

          Soave is made mainly from garganega, a white grape grown on the volcanic hills east of Verona, sometimes blended with trebbiano di Soave. Good Soave, especially Soave Classico from the hills, has almond, citrus, pear and a mineral finish. Recioto di Soave is a sweet version made from dried grapes.

          What do people drink in Venice?

          The spritz is Venice's signature drink, made with Aperol, Campari or the local Select, plus Prosecco and a splash of soda, garnished with an orange slice or olive. Venetians also drink an ombra, a small glass of local wine, often with cicchetti, small bar snacks, in traditional bacari. Prosecco and Soave are popular local choices.
