Italian Wines: The Essentials

Italy is one of the world's leading wine producers and grows hundreds of indigenous grape varieties. Its wines are classified as DOCG, DOC, and IGT, with Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, Puglia, and Sicily among its most renowned regions.

Which Italian grape varieties should you know?

Sangiovese in Tuscany (Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino), Nebbiolo in Piedmont (Barolo, Barbaresco), Primitivo in Puglia, Aglianico in Campania and the Vulture, and Nero d'Avola in Sicily.

What is a Toscana IGT?

A geographical indication covering the whole of Tuscany. More flexible than the DOCs, it notably includes the "Super Tuscans," which blend Sangiovese with Bordeaux grape varieties.
