Today, Delle Venezie covers Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige., with the exception of Alto-Adige (Südtirol). The area of vineyards within this DOC exceeds 13,000 hectares Potential annual production can reach 12 million cases.

The cool, breezy climate is heavily influenced by the Alps, and helps maintain fresh acidity in the wines. Day-night temperature variation develops aromatic intensity. Water availability is rarely a problem.

Roughly seven bottles in every ten of delle Venezie wine are varietal Pinot Grigio. Around 20 smaller DOCs within the delle Venezie zone also produce Pinot Grigio. A Pinot Grigio delle Venezie may actually include up to 15 percent of other permitted white varieties, and may be made with up to 15 grams of residual sugar per liter.
