DOCG Wines in Veneto

DOCG (denominazione di origine controllata e garantita)

There are three wines in our region that received the most important Italian certificate of quality guarantee:
Bardolino Superiore
Soave Superiore
Recioto di Soave

One interesting thing about Recioto wines is that the farmers use the ears of grapes for to make the wine. These are the external parts of the grape ( in local dialect "recie", see the picture) and they are sweeter than the rest
Finally, there are two kind of Recioto: one in Soave that is white and another one in Valpolicella that is red.
