The winemaking history of the Veneto has been strongly influenced by the history of the regions that were important stops along the Mediterranean spice route from the Byzantine Empire to the trading center of Venice.
The region is bordered by the Alps to the north separating it from Austria. Slovenia borders the region on the east and the Italian region of Veneto forms the western border and part of the southern border with the Adriatic Sea. The northern half is very mountainous and gives way to flatter terrain and plains on the way to the sea. The climate is distinguished with very warm days and chilly nights that help maintain a balance in the grape between acidity and sugar levels and allows the grapes a long, slow growing season.
