Top 10 Wineries in Veneto
Veneto produces more wine than any other Italian region, but its peaks are concentrated in three places: Valpolicella for Amarone, Soave for Garganega-based whites, and the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene hills for Prosecco. These ten estates define the region's serious side.
1. Allegrini, Valpolicella
The most important quality producer in Valpolicella. Amarone with deep concentration, La Poja (a varietal Corvina), and the single-vineyard La Grola Veronese IGT are reference points.
2. Quintarelli, Valpolicella
The almost mythic Amarone producer — extreme ageing in old oak, tiny production, and a long waiting list. Wines released only when the winemaker considers them ready.
3. Bertani, Valpolicella
The historic Amarone house, with Amarone Classico labels dating to the 1950s still drinking well today. The traditional style benchmark.
4. Romano Dal Forno, Valpolicella
A modernist Amarone producer of extraordinary concentration. Vigneto Monte Lodoletta Amarone is one of the most sought-after Italian reds.
5. Pieropan, Soave
The reference of Soave Classico — Calvarino and La Rocca are single-vineyard Garganega from volcanic soil, capable of decades of ageing.
6. Inama, Soave
A leading Soave Colli Berici estate; Vigneti di Foscarino and Vigneto du Lot are top expressions of Garganega from volcanic terroir.
7. Anselmi, Soave (Veneto IGT)
The estate that left the Soave DOC to focus on quality outside the appellation rules. Capitel Foscarino and Capitel Croce are reference Garganega wines.
8. Bisol, Valdobbiadene
A leading Prosecco Superiore producer in the Cartizze hill — sparkling Glera from the steepest UNESCO-listed vineyards of Conegliano- Valdobbiadene.
9. Nino Franco, Valdobbiadene
A historic Prosecco house in the village of Valdobbiadene; Primo Franco and Grave di Stecca are reference single-site Proseccos.
10. Tommasi, Valpolicella
A large, well-organised Valpolicella house with vineyards across the Veneto and a strong visitor programme; Amarone Riserva Ca' Florian is the prestige cuvée.
Visiting Veneto
Verona is the natural base for Valpolicella and Soave (both within thirty minutes by car); Treviso and Conegliano sit at the heart of Prosecco country an hour east. Many Valpolicella estates run scheduled tours; the Prosecco Hills (UNESCO-listed) reward a slow drive between hilltop villages.
