Venice as a wine region

The DOC-controlled Venezia appellation derives its name from the city of Venice (Venezia in Italian); furthermore, it was effectively the global market for wine, a commodity traded throughout the known world of that time.

It was the Venetians who advocated for the cultivation of vineyards in northeastern Italy, in a vast and complex region whose vineyards stretched from the lagoon—Venice and Torcello—all the way to the foothills of the Alps, an area more than 60 kilometers in length. The soils that characterized this area are very diverse in character—calcareous, clayey, loam, and gravelly—along the course of rivers in which wines with great personality originated. This applies to those made from international grape varieties as well as from local varieties that are unique to the world. These wines, the fruit of Venetian trade and commerce, reflect the multifaceted and polycultural character that has always been the essence of Venice as a civilization.

Each wine represents a territory and its history, a way to discover a way to “live Venice”, to taste and share with friends in an old bistro or tavern. As the old saying goes: “wine brings joy when drunk together in company”. So do not wait any longer to taste this Ai Galli Pinot Grigio delle Venezie d.o.c. Rosato!
