Veneto
Veneto is in northeast Italy and is one of the country’s biggest wine producers. The climate is pretty varied—there are mountains, flat plains, and a bit of coastline—so they grow loads of different grapes. The main ones to know are Corvina (for red Valpolicella and Amarone), Glera (makes Prosecco), and Garganega (for Soave whites).
Wines from Veneto range from the super light and bubbly (Prosecco) to rich, full-bodied reds (Amarone), with lots of easy-drinking styles in between. Basically, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re into easy sippers or more serious stuff.
Italy
Italy is a wine powerhouse—every corner grows grapes and makes something worth trying. The north does crisp Pinot Grigio and bold reds like Barolo and Amarone. Head to Tuscany for Chianti and Brunello, both made from Sangiovese grapes. Down south, think big, juicy reds like Primitivo and Nero d’Avola.
Styles are all over the map: super-light whites, easy pinks, sparkling Prosecco, and reds from light and food-friendly to serious and full-on. Italian wine is hardly ever boring and usually made for food. Labels are tricky to read, but most bottles deliver great value and character.
