This group includes Colli Berici, Colli Euganei, Colli Euganei Fior d'Arancio, Vicenza and Breganze. In Colli Berici, calcareous, red-clay and volcanic soils meet higher vineyards and lower rainfall to produce structured wines. Tai Rosso is an indigenous Colli Berici grape, and its character differs among the zone's favourable sites.

  1. Garda (eastern Lake Garda shore)7 producersLake Garda, morainic soils and the Monte Baldo-Adige climatic system shape Veneto's eastern shore. Bardolino's Veneto expression gives fresh, light reds with soft tannins.
  2. Padova plain — Riviera del Brenta, Bagnoli & Corti Benedettine4 producersRiviera del Brenta, Bagnoli and Corti Benedettine are separate appellation contexts on the Padova plain. The grouping also includes Merlara, without treating the area as one wine style.
  3. Piave, Lison & eastern plain (Treviso / Venezia)10 producersPiave and Lison are separate protected appellation contexts on Veneto's eastern plain. They are grouped here with neighbouring names, but do not share one defined wine style.
  4. Prosecco — Conegliano-Valdobbiadene & Asolo (Treviso hills)14 producersConegliano-Valdobbiadene and Asolo sit in the Treviso hills, where altitude helps aromas develop. Slopes, exposures and soils distinguish Rive and Cartizze, while Asolo Prosecco is light, fruity and dry-finishing.
  5. Soave, Gambellara & Lessini (eastern Verona / western Vicenza)26 producersSoave, Gambellara and the Lessini hills sit together in eastern Veneto. Garganega anchors the Soave and Lessini side, while volcanic soils are central to Gambellara.
  6. Valpolicella & Bardolino (Verona hills)50 producersThe Verona hills make Corvina-based reds, from light Bardolino to Valpolicella and Amarone. In Amarone, dried grapes turn cherry fruit into more richness and alcohol.
