Venice Feature

Tre Venezie regional wines (from the Veneto, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia) go far beyond the famous Amarone, and include some spectacular whites like the crisp Malvasia and Tocai, the smooth Garganega (Soave) and Ribolla Pialla, along with the versitile, just-dry-enough bubbly, prosecco.

Reds are dry and flavorful but relatively low in alchohol, making them the perfect accompaniment to regional cuisine: look for Cabernet Franc, Corvina (Valpolicella, Bardolino), Marzemino, Lagrein, Refosco, Raboso, or Teroldego Rotaliano.

If this all seems a little confusing, the best (and definitely the most pleasurable) course of action is to head to a bacaro for some expert guidance.
