Veneto

Italy's best-known sparkling wine, made from Glera across nine provinces of Veneto and Friuli. Fresh, light and fruity, with pear and white flowers. Labels from Treviso or Trieste may name the province, and a Prosecco Rosé with a little Pinot Nero has been allowed since 2020.

The DOC for Pinot Grigio across Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia and Trentino, created in 2017. Most of the Pinot Grigio from the north-east carries this name. The broader indication it replaced is now called Trevenezie IGT.

The region-wide indication, for wines made outside DOC rules. It covers everything from simple varietal wines to ambitious reds from dried grapes.

The indication for the province of Verona. Corvina reds, sometimes from dried grapes, and Garganega whites made outside the Valpolicella and Soave rules.

The indication for the province of Treviso, for still wines from Merlot, Cabernet and the local Raboso, alongside whites.

A DOC covering the provinces of Venezia and Treviso, for varietal wines from the plains between the lagoon and the hills, Pinot Grigio and Merlot above all.

A DOC across most of the province of Vicenza, for varietal reds, whites and sparkling wines outside the smaller hill zones of Breganze, Gambellara and the Colli Berici.

A broad DOC around Lake Garda, in Veneto and Lombardy, laid over Bardolino, Custoza, Lugana, Soave and Valpolicella. Wines are usually labelled by grape, from Garganega to Pinot Grigio.

An indication shared by Trentino, Alto Adige and the province of Belluno. Most labels come from Trentino, for mountain whites and reds such as Teroldego made outside the DOC rules.

A small DOC for traditional-method sparkling wine only, from Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco and Pinot Nero grown in the hills of five Veneto provinces.
