{"title":"VENETO","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVeneto, located in northeastern Italy, is a diverse and dynamic wine region known for both powerful reds and vibrant sparkling wines. It is the home of Amarone della Valpolicella, crafted using partially dried grapes to create rich, concentrated wines layered with dark cherry, cocoa, and spice. Valpolicella and Ripasso offer fresher yet expressive interpretations of the region’s native varieties. Veneto is also celebrated for Prosecco, produced primarily from the Glera grape, offering bright notes of green apple, pear, and citrus with lively bubbles. From structured, cellar-worthy reds to crisp, approachable sparklers, Veneto wines reflect versatility, craftsmanship, and regional character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"monte-dei-ragni-amarone-della-valpolicella-2015-750ml","title":"Monte dei Ragni, Amarone della Valpolicella 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eZeno Zignoli's Monte dei Ragni Amarone is a cult bottling among Valpolicella's purists, made from hand-dried grapes on precipitous hillside terraces with almost monastic patience.
