Italian Wine
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Italian wine spans a remarkable geographic breadth, from the volcanic soils of Sardinia to the limestone-rich hillsides of Soave and the rolling terrain of Tuscany. The country's native variety dominance sets it apart, with Sangiovese anchoring central regions, Montepulciano thriving in Abruzzo, and Cannonau and Monica rooted in Sardinian viticulture. Friuli's Collio zone yields skin-contact Pinot Grigio, as seen in Venica's Jesera, while Pra Otto works Garganega in the Soave Classico zone. Braida's Brachetto d'Acqui represents Piedmont's aromatic sparkling tradition, and Valpolicella Superiore from Villa Canestrari demonstrates the Veneto's capacity for age-worthy red blends. Caparzo and La Quercia offer approachable entry points into Tuscan Sangiovese and Abruzzese Montepulciano respectively, while estates like Gaja, Antinori, Ornellaia, and Petrolo anchor the collectible tier of Italian viticulture.
