Italy
Italy, with its diverse terroirs and over a thousand indigenous grape varieties, is a fascinating wine country. Key regions like Piedmont, Tuscany, and Veneto showcase the country's winemaking prowess. Piedmont, known for Nebbiolo-based Barolo and Barbaresco, produces powerful, tannic wines with aging potential. Tuscany's Sangiovese shines in Chianti Classico and Brunello di Montalcino, displaying vibrant acidity and savory notes. Veneto offers diverse styles, from the crisp, dry whites of Soave to the powerful, Amarone della Valpolicella, made from dried grapes. This region also gives us Prosecco, a sparkling wine made primarily from the Glera grape, known for its fruity aromas and refreshing character, as well as the crisp and refreshing Pinot Grigio, often enjoyed for its easy-drinking style. Piedmont also contributes Gavi, a dry white wine made from the Cortese grape, known for its crisp acidity and delicate floral aromas. Italian wines often emphasize food-friendliness, with high acidity and balanced structure.
