Question 1

Veneto (~18% DOC production)

Answer 1

Keep your eyes peeled for reds and a rich white wine called Soave.
Veneto is known for the Valpolicella region which is known for producing Amarone della Valpolicella. Besides the great red blends of Valpolicella made with Corvina, Rondinella, and Molinara, there are also several fine Merlot-based IGT wines in this area. For white wines, Garganega is the white grape that makes Soave-Соув (‘swah-vay’), a wine that’s rich like Chardonnay. Check out the article below on finding wines from Veneto

Что касается белых вин в этом регионе, имейте в виду, что Треббьяно — самый производимый белый сорт винограда в Италии, а Верментино имеет довольно много вкусовых сходств с Совиньон Блан.

Valtellina is within Lombardy, close to Lake Como. Nebbiolo is the red wine produced here but it’s called Chiavennasca; it’s lighter and more “pinot-like” than its Piemontese sister. Lombardy also produces some great Pinot Noir (they call it Pinot Nero) especially around Oltrepò Pavese.
