Wine from Veneto

Wine from Veneto

Located in northeastern Italy, Veneto is a wine region and part of a group of three productive wine regions known as the Venezie, named after the ancient Venetian Republic. Veneto is the largest DOC producer of the group.

Veneto is protected from the harsh European climate by the alps, which form the foothills of the of Veneto’s northern extremes. The cooler temperatures are well suited to white grape varieties such as Garganega, which is the predominant grape for Soave wines. The warm river valleys and Adriatic coastal areas are where Bardolino, Amarone, and Valpolicella DOC reds are produced.

The growers in Veneto are much more modern than other regions in Italy, while the majority of the classic wines are based on grape varieties like Verduzzo and Glera, which is now called Prosecco. Veneto wines are in high demand in the US and European markets with producers experimenting with Pinot, Chardonnay, and Cabernet varieties. 

In land mass, Veneto is the eighth largest region in the country and has over 90,000 hectares of vineyards. The region produces 8,500,000 hectoliters with white wine accounting for 55%.

In 1885, the first oenology and vine growing school opened in Veneto strengthening the importance of wine making in the region.

Terre dei Buth Frizzante Rose Special Cuvee NV

Terre dei Buth Frizzante Rose Special Cuvee NV is made from 90% Glera and 10% Raboso.

Fresh, fruity with hints of gooseberry and redcurrant.

On top of being "Certified Organic", this is also "Vegan Approved".

Glera and Raboso are blended before foaming process into what we call "Special Cuvée", for its outstanding drinkability and delicate scents. Glera, which is the variety used to make Prosecco, brings the liveliness of the most famous Italian sparkling wine to this cuvée, which reaches perfection thanks to Raboso, which is an indigenous red grape of the Venetian region, well-known for its hints of red berries and smooth taste.

The grapes are coming from vines planted on gravelly soils.
Average age of the vines is about 10 years old. 
Grapes are machine-harvested, so that the grapes are pressed about 10 minutes after picking,allowing to preserve the freshness of the fruit, and avoiding micro-fermentation that would take place by leaving the grapes for too much time in the vineyard after picking.
Each grape variety is harvested and vinified individually.
After picking, grapes are soft-pressed, and the primary fermentation is completed in about 10 days. Then fermentation takes place for 5-6 months, where the cuvée reaches the appropriate level of acidity for foaming, which is performed in stainless steel tanks, thermo-conditioned, for about 20-25 days.

Pasta, pizza and summer salads.

Review:


medium-length finish displaying accents of peach gummi bear, edible flowers, dole fruit cup juice, and gooseberry. A more serious take on Glera with the body and richness to pair with diverse cuisines."

Zenato Sergio Zenato Amarone Classico della Valpolicella Riserva 2018

Ruby red in color, this Amarone Riserva offers dense and smokey aromas of dark cherries, raisins, chocolate, and anise, framed by fruity tannins and a spicy finish. With the level of complexity and balance that this wine shows, it will evolve beautifully for 10+ years.


Review:

Dense garnet, with a nose of walnut husks, toasted black pepper, sour cherries and ash. Smooth and soft on the palate, with a full body and ripe, silky tannins balanced by zesty acidity. Lovely fruit with an extremely long, nutty aftertaste.
