Venezia DOC
About the wine
The Venezia DOC is a broad and versatile appellation covering the provinces of Treviso and Venice in the Veneto region. Established to provide a unified quality framework for the diverse viticultural output of this area, the denomination encompasses a wide array of styles, including still, frizzante, and spumante wines. The red wines are typically based on Merlot, Cabernet, and Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, while the white wines feature a range of international and local varieties such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Manzoni Bianco, and Tocai Friulano. The DOC is particularly notable for its inclusive approach, allowing for both monovarietal expressions and specific blends. The wines are generally characterized by their approachability, freshness, and harmony, with 'Riserva' versions offering increased structure and aging potential. The production zone benefits from the varied alluvial soils of the Venetian plain, resulting in wines that reflect the traditional winemaking heritage of the region.
