The winemaking traditions of Veneto are truly ancient. Wine production has occurred across the region since Roman times, and several key growing sub-zones still employ ancient grape drying methods (appassimento) prior to pressing them into wine. Modern Veneto has also become famous for its production of great sparkling wines.

The terroir in Veneto is equally diverse. The Northern part of the region is mountainous, gradually descending into rocky foothills near Treviso. Closer to Venice, the terrain becomes marshier and gives way to the Po River Valley plain, extremely fertile in its lower portions and prone to agricultural use. Many of the region’s greatest wines come from this area.
