Prosecco, Amarone and Soave — Italy's most prolific wine region.
From the lagoons of Venice to the shores of Lake Garda, Veneto makes more wine than any other Italian region. It spans easy Prosecco and Pinot Grigio, almond-scented Soave, and Valpolicella's reds, up to the rich, dried-grape Amarone.
