Veneto Venice's region is Italy's leader in the production of classified wine. A major share of the DOC consists of the Verona trio of Soave, Bardolio and Valpolicella. Valpolicella is noted as a full and fruity red to drink relatively young, though grapes from its vineyards in the hills north of Verona can also be partly dried and made into richly dry Amarone della Valpolicella. Amarone, amply structured and long on the palate, ranks with Italy's most authoritative red wines. Bardolino, from the same basic grapes as Valpolicella, is enviably easy to drink. |
