Wines made from Carmenère grapes of Venezia
Discover the best wines made with Carmenère as a single variety or as a blend of Venezia.
Velvety, deep reds with a dark robe and round tannins, showing aromas of blackberry, plum, ripe red pepper, dark chocolate, coffee and gentle spice. Warm, supple finish. Absolute star of Chile (Colchagua, Cachapoal, Maipo) where it was rediscovered in 1994, long confused with Merlot. A historic Bordeaux variety that nearly vanished after phylloxera, a cross of Cabernet Franc × Gros Cabernet.
Venetian DOC around Venice, heart of the "Tre Venezie" concept and the delle Venezie zone (>23,000 ha). Pinot Grigio signature as the export-star white: fresh and accessible with signature notes of pear, green apple, citrus, white flowers and a saline touch, thirst-quenching mouth — global success. Also sparkling Glera (Prosecco base), mineral Garganega, local Tocai Friulano. Reds: round Merlot (plum, cherry), peppery Cabernet Franc, spicy native Refosco.
