Veneto, Verona, Valpolicella, VINO! - Robert Buranello

Our return to Venice from Lago d'Iseo, Erbusco, and Lago di Garda, took us through beautiful, long stretches of the Po Valley as well as the Baldo and Lessini mountain chains. These Venetian Prealps, characterized by steep slopes and deep gorges, boast a colourful history of witches, fairies, wizards and goblins.  What bewitched us as we passed through the Valpolicella, the "Pearl of Verona," the vertex of the Veneto was, of course, the vino!
