Veneto

In north-eastern Italy, one of a group of three highly productive Italian regions known collectively as the Venezie
Multiple DOCs and 2 noteworthy DOCGs
Varieties like Prosecco (and a sparkling wine) and Verduzzo along with the popular Amarone and renowned Valpolicella (both made primarily from the Corvina grape)
Amarone is made from very ripe grapes, which are then dried and then pressed, producing a concentrated, full-bodied wine that has a distinctive and powerful taste (almost port-like)
Area boasts the creation of the very first Italian school for vine growing and oenology in 1885
Constituted the first strada del vino or “wine road” (This first wine-touring road featured special road signs providing information on vines and the wines they were made into)
