Wine production of Veneto

Veneto is one of the most important Italian regions for the surface addressed to the cultivation of the vine and the wine production, above all thanks to its geography. According to the territorial point of view, in fact, it is a variegated region as there are mountains, hills, plains and coasts.

Then, there is also the presence of the biggest Italian lake, Lake Garda, which microclimate plays an important role, because it mitigates the seasons enhancing the development of peculiar local microclimates.
