'... el sippia el Paradiso terrestre, tanto piu belo e megiore porche in quelo no se ghe magna e in questo si'. There is a Venetian proverb in Venetian dialect that loosely translated would mean: 'The earthly paradise is so much more beautiful and better only because there is nothing to eat above, but here with us there is.' Yes, and there is good food in these Venetian provinces, which are full of joie de vivre and stretch from the mountains to the hills to the fertile soils of the northeastern Po Valley and the Adriatic Sea. It's a heavily agricultural area, and that's why people here love hearty home cooking, simple dishes made with lots of onions, vegetables, legumes, wonderfully flavorful sauces and then, of course, the famous liver 'allla Veneziana'.

And happy wines to go with the happy food: Bardolino, Valpolicella, Prosecco di Conegliano, for example, or the straw-yellow Soave, ripened on a river in which to be allowed to swim is the highest honor for any trout from the Adige. From the Adige River that flows powerfully through Verona, where Romeo and his Giulietta had experienced such horrors. Apparently he had not penetrated deep enough into the Venetian 'savior vivre'. First we eat, they say there, 'e no perlemo po de la femine" - only then do we talk about women. Who knows, if he had kept to this wise motto, he would have had a better ending. - Gerardo [TS05/23]

"Our news overview of the latest events in Veneto is like a potpourri of color, and it's by no means just about awards for wineries and growing zones. The top topic is undoubtedly the long-awaited rise of Valpolicella, Asolo and Conegliano-Valdobbiadene to DOCG status, including various other shifts in Italy's appellation system. As far as Valpolicella is concerned, for Amarone and Recioto a process that had already been initiated several years ago has now come to a happy conclusion: at last the two products have received the recognition they deserve by being admitted to Italy's oenological nobility." - Gambero Rosso
