Wines of Veneto [veh-neh-toh] |

 |
From the region of Veneto, Verona’s classic
wines are bona fide natives. Soave, the third
most popular of Italian dry whites, is usually dry and
still.
Valpolicella, made from a blend of Corvina, Rondinella
and Molinara grapes, is noted as a hearty red to drink relatively young, though it’s grapes
can also be partly dried and made into the richly dry Amarone della Valpolicella or
the sweet Recioto della Valpolicella. Bardolino from the
same basic grapes as Valpolicella, is enviably easy to drink.
Bardolino has also gained in popularity as a
Vino Novello. Veneto is also noted for the popular Prosecco, a dry to soly sweet white, almost
always bubbly. |
