Italy is a country where history, art, and wine are woven together seamlessly, and few regions embody this as vividly as Veneto. Situated in the northeast of the country, Veneto is a place where grand canals and gondolas coexist with rolling vineyards and centuries of winemaking tradition. From the bustling city of Venice to the quiet hills where Garganega and Corvina thrive, this region offers not only a feast for the eyes, but also a remarkable variety of wines that reflect its geography, climate, and cultural heritage.
The larger region of Veneto is located in the north-eastern part of Italy. It gets its name from Venice, the capital city. To the east is Friuli-Venezia Giulia. To the south is Emilia Romagna, to the west is Lombardy. To the north is Trentino-Alto-Adige.
Along the east of Lake Garda, the province of Veneto, in north-eastern Italy, lies around the picturesque town of Bardolino. The wine region takes its name from this town, but it also encompasses a broader area. Wines labelled as Bardolino Classico are those made specifically near the town of Bardolino, itself, from original vineyards.
