Wines

Osteria Al Museo Burano is the result of a dream, of hard work and passion. Passion for food and wine that we believe has the power to forge lasting bonds, creating the basis for a well-lived life.

This is why we decided to combine our high quality Venetian cuisine with wines of just as much elegance and distinction, preferring wines from Veneto, but also from Tuscany, Sicily and many international ones.

Veneto Wines

The wines of Veneto have very ancient origins, because in the region itself viticulture has always occupied a leading role in the economy.

Just think that the annual production of wines in Veneto can be estimated at around 10,000,000 hectolitres, placing Veneto among regions of Italy with the greatest wine production, but not only for quantity but also quality.

Veneto boasts 28 wines with a DOC designation (DOC) and 14 wines with controlled and guaranteed designations of origin (DOCG). The vines that give rise to this exceptional assortment of wines are mainly Corvina, Garganega, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Raboso del Piave and Veronese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Grigio and Riesling.

Veneto is one of the most important Italian wine regions, mainly due to its geography: in fact, from a territorial point of view, it is a very diverse region, as there are mountainous, hilly, flat and coastal areas.

Added to this there is the presence of the largest Italian lake, Lake Garda, which has a very important climatic function, because it mitigates the seasons favouring the development of peculiar local microclimates.

On the eastern shore of the Garda there are morainic hills and the climate, conditioned by the benevolent influence of the lake and protected from cold winds by the orographic conformation to the north of the relief of Mount Baldo, is of Mediterranean type; the vines cultivated are Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara in the Bardolino, Trebbiano, Garganega in the Mincio valley, Lugana in the southernmost part, partly Veneto and partly Lombard.

A good portion of wines in Veneto is produced in the province of Verona (almost two million hectolitres). Some of the famous wines that come from this province are Amarone, Bardolino, Valpolicella, Bianco di Custoza, Recioto di Soave. Typical of the province of Vicenza, on the other hand, are the Berici Hills and the Breganze, while in the province of Padua the Euganean Hills area is distinguished by the production of quality wine: Merlot, Il Fior D’Arancio. In Venice, Merlot and Cabernet stand out.

Foothills partly of sedimentary origin, partly morainic, partly alluvial, characterize the vast area of the Treviso hills. The most common varieties are Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay, Sauvignon, Riesling, Merlot, Cabernet and Marzemino but, in the particular area of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, consisting of calcareous-clayey-sandy formations, the cultivation of the famous Prosecco stands out.

Veneto boasts 28 wines with a DOC designation (DOC) and 14 wines with controlled and guaranteed designations of origin (DOCG).
