The old republic of Venice had a profound effect on Europe as well as the world. For centuries, this region was the superpower, and its effects on art, architecture, literature, warfare, and food are well known. Add to that list: wine.
The consistent quality that appears throughout wines of Northeastern Italy is the acidity. From the full bodied whites of Friuli, to the crisp and lively Austrian-influenced wines of Alto Aidge, and even the reds of Valpolicella, a consistent “snap” of acidity makes these wines some of the most food friendly on the planet.
