Veneto IGT

Wine from Veneto IGT comes out of Italy, where it sits as a wine region.

Growers build the wines around Pinot Grigio, filling out the blend with Garganega, Corvina, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Vines root into clay and limestone.

The climate is continental.

The vineyards themselves read as hills, lakeside and plains.

Red wine, white wine and rosé wine is what the region is known for, and in the glass it shows rich and expressive, fruit-forward profiles and substantial body, crisp and refreshing and floral and fruity notes, plus two more.

Quality is codified by the IGT, which is worth reading off the label.

The named areas within are Colli Trevigiani IGT, Marca Trevigiana IGT, Veneto Orientale IGT and Verona IGT.

Producers worth knowing include Allegrini, Giuseppe Quintarelli and Masi.

Pour them alongside seafood, risotto, grilled chicken and pasta dishes.

Serve chilled.
