Veneto

Veneto – discover Italy's most diverse wine region

From Lake Garda to the hills of Valpolicella to the lagoon city of Venice: Veneto is one of Italy's most fascinating wine regions – and one of the most productive. What makes this region so special is not just the sheer quantity, but the extraordinary range of wine styles, grape varieties, and terroirs. At Vinoscout, you will find over 144 products from Veneto, from accessible everyday wines starting at 3.99 euros to absolute rarities for collectors and connoisseurs.

Wine style and character: between lightness and depth

Veneto masters the entire spectrum of winemaking. Light, fresh white wines from the Soave area stand alongside powerful, tannin-rich red wines from Valpolicella. However, the heart of the region is undoubtedly the Amarone della Valpolicella – a wine created through the traditional appassimento method: harvested grapes are dried on racks before they are fermented. The result is a red wine of enormous concentration, depth, and longevity, with aromas of dried fruits, chocolate, tobacco, and spices. If you really want to understand Veneto, you cannot bypass Amarone.

Important regions and origins

Valpolicella

Valpolicella, located west of Verona, is the home of Amarone as well as Ripasso – a wine that is re-fermented over the pomace of Amarone and thus gains body and complexity. The classic zone, the Valpolicella Classico, is considered the area of origin with the best sites. Wineries such as Masi, Quintarelli Giuseppe, and Zenato are among the most famous names in the region – and are represented at Vinoscout. The Masi Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico is also available as a 1.5-liter magnum; the Zenato Amarone della Valpolicella DOC Classico Riserva impressively shows what maturity and craftsmanship can extract from this appellation.

Quintarelli – a legend from Veneto

Anyone looking for the non-plus-ultra inevitably encounters Giuseppe Quintarelli. His Alzero Cabernet IGP is among the most sought-after wines in Italy – available in the Vinoscout range for 374.79 euros. The Quintarelli Primofiore IGP also shows that even the more accessible wines of this house are of exceptional quality.

Lake Garda and other appellations

Around Lake Garda, fresh, mineral white and rosé wines are created that are perfect for uncomplicated moments of enjoyment. The region thus offers a nice contrast to the powerful red wines of Valpolicella.
