NORTHERN ITALY
Veneto The Veneto region in northeast Italy stretches from the shores of Lake Garda in the west, in the foothills of the Dolomite Mountains, towards Venice and the Adriatic Sea. Much of the area is flat terrain with the best wines found in hilly parts. Red Valpolicella and Amarone wines are produced on slopes around Verona; moving eastwards, the town of Soave is known for its dry whites and further eastwards still, the cultivation of Glera to make Prosecco.
