Both historically and currently a very important wine region in North East Italy. The Veneto is Italy’s largest wine producing region and also its biggest for DOC wine. It stretches Westward to Lake Garda and Northward to the Alps and the Austrian border from the Terra Firma.
It is home to two of Italy’s best-known export wines, namely Soave and Valpolicella. As well as sparkling wines, famously known as Prosecco.
The climate changes significantly between one area to another. The climate is milder along the Adriatic coast, around Lake Garda and in the hilly areas. The lowlands are often covered by thick fog. Precipitation is scarce (750 mm (30 in) per year) but more regular next to the River Po (750 to 1,100 mm (30 to 43 in) per year) at higher altitudes.
