Veneto is a significant wine region in northeastern Italy. Venetian Vineyards can be found on the shores of Lake Garda, as well as in the hills of Mantua, at the foot of the Dolomites and next to the lagoon of Venice. The variety of the grapes cultivated here is hugely diverse: ranging from indigenous white vines such as the Prosecco or Garganega grape to Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio, and from the distinct red varieties of Corvina and Raboso to rich Cabernet and Merlot. With such well-known wines - Amarone, Valpolicella, Soave or Prosecco call this region home - Veneto is easily one of the most important wine-growing regions in Italy.
