Veneto and its territories

Veneto, located in the north-east of Italy, is renowned for its extraordinary history, breathtaking landscapes and exquisite food and wine traditions. Venetian cuisine and Veneto wines are appreciated throughout the world and reflect the cultural and territorial diversity of the region.

Veneto is famous for its fascinating historic cities such as Venice, Verona and Padua, which are home to countless works of art and architectural treasures. Venice, the city of canals and palaces, is considered one of the most romantic and fascinating destinations, while Verona, the city of Romeo and Juliet, is famous for its Roman amphitheater and opera performances. Padua, with the historic University and the Scrovegni Chapel, offers a wide range of cultural attractions.

The Veneto region is known for its excellent wine production, which includes famous wines such as Prosecco, Valpolicella and Soave. Piave is the name of a DOC wineproduced in the provinces of Treviso and Venice around the lower course of the Piave . The vineyards of Veneto extend from the hills of Treviso, Vicenza and Verona to the plains of the Po.

Venetian cuisine is equally varied and delicious, with fish and seafood dishes along the coast and in the Venice Lagoon, and more robust meat and vegetable recipes inland. Some of the typical dishes of the region include risotto, bigoli (egg pasta), polenta and Vicenza-style cod.

The Pedemontana Veneta area is undoubtedly the most authentic expression of the typicality and richness of the region's food and wine heritage.

In addition to the aforementioned Prosecco, appreciated and exported all over the world, in recent years, native vines of which memory had been lost have been re-evaluated, among which the Recantina and the Rabbiosa dei colli Asolani ( Pat del Colmel ) stand out. Once called “Rabbioso” or “Piave wine”, Raboso is an indigenous Venetian red grape variety with a thousand-year history ( Italo Cescon ). It is a great Italian red wine with a clear identity well rooted in the Piave area, which today wants to regain a prestigious position among the great Italian wines.
