Strolling Piazza San Marco. Sailing the Venetian lagoon. Criss-crossing the undulating hills of Valpolicella. This romanticised notion of Veneto, home to Italy’s beloved cities of Venice and Verona, encompasses some measure of truth. Even its macroclimates are diverse, from the foothills of the Alps in the north, Lake Garda to the west and the Adriatic Sea to the southeast.
Once again, Professor Milgate has ventured into the depths of his cellar to find a range of wines from the Northeast of Italy – the Veneto region. As a wine region, Veneto brings heft and history to the table. Its importance is in part due to the volume of Pinot Grigio it produces, and the massive growth in demand for Prosecco. However, continued recognition of other wines from the region, such as Valpolicella and Amarone, helps keep Veneto in the spotlight.
To pair with Mr Milgate’s wine, our Head Chef Fernando Casanova has curated a menu focusing on Italian specialities from Veneto, with synergy flowing between plates and glasses.
