If you never tried any of them and would like to know more about wines then you should try now Italian ones. It’s worth it.

Biancos (white wines) in Italian are widely known. Very famous is Trebbiano. Italians used to drink it for lunch because it is an easy wine. Northern Italian wineries produce Pinot Grigio. It is a light and dry wine. In France and in California people know it as Pinot Gris. Golden apple flavored intense Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio is a delicious choice. Piemonte (Piedmont) has the best wine tour offers for travelers.

However not a typical Italian we have to talk about Chardonnay. “Apricotti” and spice tasty Mandra Rossa Chardonnay from 2004 shows you winemakers are talent in this country as well.

Italy grows varietals that are grown nowhere else (well, almost nowhere, although Sangiovese has become fashionable among New World winemakers wanting to do Something Different) in the world. So let’s tour around Reds. (Rosso) Oh! What a wines are come!

Cherry fruit and cedar flavored Italian wine is Sangiovese. This the best known one, like Il Poggio Sangiovese from 2008. Cool category Super Tuscans based on Tuscany region wines. Chianti’s main ingredient is Sangiovese as well. Chianti is the best of the best. In French oak barrel aged Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva is from 2008, but it can consumed until 2017.

Very dark color La Spinetta Barbera d’Asti Ca Di Pian from Piemonte. Over this Barbera we found Nebbiolo which is intense, rich and it has excellent structure. Voerzio Langhe Nebbiolo is a premium category wine from oak barrels. Piero Cesare Barolo Ornato (2003) is also deep color and intense fruit scent. Winemakers use more hygienic techniques than in the past that’s why Nebbiolo has became a dry wine.

Finally, while Merlot not their first red option but it blends beautifully with Italy’s native grape varieties as you can see in Vipra Rossa, a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Sangiovese and 10% Montepulciano.

Decades before Italy wines were about quantity but for now due to modern sentiments they produce quality wines which is a real benefit for world wine drinkers.

Cheers!
