Venetian wine is produced in Veneto, a highly productive wine region in north-eastern Italy.
The broader area comprising Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol is known collectively as the Tre Venezie, after the Republic of Venice.
Veneto is the most populous and biggest denominazione di origine controllata （DOC） producer of the three regions.
Although the Tre Venezie collectively produce more red wine than white, the Veneto region produces more whites under DOC and is notably home to the Prosecco and Soave wines.
The region is protected from the harsh northern European climate by the Alps, the foothills of which form Veneto's northern extremes.
These cooler climes are well-suited to white varieties like Garganega （the main grape for Soave wines）, while the warmer Adriatic coastal plains,
river valleys, and Garda Lake zone are the places where the renowned Valpolicella, Amarone and Bardolino DOC reds are produced.
In Veneto, two different wine areas are clearly distinguishable: an eastern part, close to the Venice Lagoon between the hills of Treviso, the
plain of Piave river and Adriatic coast, where it is typical to produce the famous Prosecco （Glera）, and other varieties are grown like Merlot,
Carmenere, Verduzzo, Raboso Piave, Refosco, Tocai, Verdiso, Marzemino; and the western part, close to Garda Lake and the city of Verona, famous for the wines based on the varieties Corvina, Rondinella, Garganega, Trebbiano of Soave, and Oseleta.
In the central part of Veneto the winemaking transitions between the varieties and styles of the Eastern and Western parts.
In that area you can find the Colli Euganei, the hills close to Padua, that is a special Mediterranean microclimatic zone; it is even famous for the Moscato fior d'arancio production, a sparkling dessert wine.
