Region

A wide and temperate agricultural region stretching from Venice to Verona and north to the Alpine foothills. In the west around Lake Garda, are the important generic wines - Valpolicella, Soave and Bardolino. Much of Italy`s commercial Pinot Grigio and Merlot is grown further east, but the Prosecco grape makes the region`s distinctly fashionable sparkling wine. However the recent popularity of Amarone and Ripasso has really re-established this region as one of Italy best wine growing areas and quality is out of all recognition from the light carafe wines of the early 80`s.

Producer

The Là Di Motte wine company began in the 1970s in Motta di Livenza, in the vine-covered lands on the border between the regions of the Veneto and Friuli. The 100 plus hectares of `Là Di Motte` vineyards have benefited from a recent and extensive programme of environmental upgrading. This has involved the removal of old vineyards and the planting of new vines in more modern vineyard layouts, as well as adopting advanced viticultural practices and innovative technology through the entire winemaking process.
