Area of Production:

The IGT Veneto is reserved for white, red and rosé wines. The grape production area for obtaining musts and wines includes the entire administrative territory of the provinces of Belluno, Padua, Rovigo, Treviso, Venice, Verona, Vicenza.

The history of wine in Veneto begins long before the times of the Greeks, who are generally recognized as introducing the vine to Italy. It is believed, however, that the vine was present in the wild in Veneto already many centuries before Christ.

Grapes:

Chardonnay is the world's most famous white-wine grape and also one of the most widely planted. Climate plays a major role in dictating which fruit flavors a Chardonnay will have. 

Fermentation and/or maturation in oak barrels contributes notes of vanilla, smoke and hints of sweet spices such as clove and cinnamon. Mineral descriptors such as chalk, wet stones and crushed seashells also find their way into Chardonnay tasting notes.
