Wines from the Veneto
The Veneto is large in many respects. Alongside Sicily, it is the largest wine-growing region in Italy. It organises the country's largest wine fair in Verona (Vinitaly) and the largest event dedicated exclusively to natural wines in Gambellara (vinnatur). Its cellars are the source of an immense quantity of the worst industrialised wines and an equally impressive number of highly individual and expressive wines.
The Veneto is extremely heterogeneous: From the eastern shore of Lake Garda to the border with Friuli, the wine-growing regions of Valpolicella (all red), Soave, Gambellara (white) and Prosecco (sparkling) are completely different and are complemented by a number of completely independent areas such as Monte Lessini, the Colli Berici or the volcanic cones of the Colli Euganei that rise up in the middle of the Po Valley. There are a good 50 different grape varieties, with both local and international varieties depending on the region.

Elisa Carpanese: Bora Bianco 2021
Wein
- €14,60
Elisa Carpanese is the wife of Filippo Gamba, the owner of the Alla Costiera winery in the Colli Euganei. While he grew up among the vines, it was through him that she first became interested in wine. Initially, she dealt with the bureaucracy alongside a 40-hour job away from the wine industry a...
Villa Calicantus: Avresir 2020
Rotwein
- €38,50
Bardolino is located on the south-east shore of Lake Garda. In the hierarchy of Italian wine regions, it tends to be at the lower end. This was not always the case. There were times when the wines of the region were in no way inferior to those of Valpolicella. But then, at some point towards the ...
Alla Costiera: Carmenère 2021
Wein
- €14,60
Carmenère actually comes from Bordeaux. For a long time, the red grape variety challenged Cabernet Sauvignon for pole position there, before it disappeared completely from the vineyards of the French noble region as a consequence of the invasion of grapes and the difficulty of finding suitable r...
Elisa Carpanese: Bora Rosso 2021
Rotwein
- €14,60
Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc have long been at home in the Colli Euganei. They were introduced to the volcanic hills south-west of Padua either by Italian day labourers who helped out with the grape harvest in Bordeaux for little money back in the 19th century, or - the stories vary in t...

Rotwein

Lasupperiora bridges the gap between the delicacy and subtle fruit flavours of Soracuna - Villa Calicantus' entry-level wine - and the substance and depth of Avresir, the winery's red flagship. Its vines, planted in 2010, are rooted in stony, chalky terrain in the villa's highest vineyard. Daniel...
Boschera Winkler: Rosato 2019
Wein
- €22,90
Pinot Nero has an astonishingly long tradition in the Veneto. This has a lot to do with the lively exchange between monasteries, which founded a kind of World Wine Web in the Middle Ages and brought Pinot Noir (and a few other grape varieties) from France to the most remote corners of Europe - i...
Boschera Winkler: Boschera 2019
Wein
- €19,90
If you've never heard of Boschera, you'd be forgiven. Although the white grape variety was supposedly widespread in Trevigiano, the area around Treviso, in the 18th century, there are only six hectares of it left today. One of them is owned by Alessandro Winkler, who decided in 2012 to add winem...
