Italy
Italy is one of the world's great wine-producing countries, with an extraordinary diversity of grape varieties, landscapes and winemaking traditions stretching from the Alps to Sicily. At the heart of its greatest wines are historic native varieties such as Sangiovese and Nebbiolo, alongside a wealth of indigenous grapes found throughout its many regions.
Tuscany and Piedmont are home to many of Italy's most celebrated fine wines. In Tuscany, Brunello di Montalcino produces some of the finest expressions of Sangiovese, combining power, elegance and remarkable longevity, while pioneering Super Tuscans, including Sassicaia and Tignanello, helped transform the international reputation of Italian fine wine. Further north, Barolo and Barbaresco produce profound, age-worthy Nebbiolo, among Italy's most distinctive and sought-after wines.
Beyond these historic heartlands, regions including Veneto, Puglia and Sicily add yet more diversity, from the rich, powerful reds of Amarone and southern Italy to fresh, mineral and saline Mediterranean whites. From approachable regional wines to some of the world's most coveted and cellar-worthy bottles, few countries can match Italy for its remarkable breadth of styles, native varieties and distinctive regional character.
