In this category you will find our selected Italian wines – from Piedmont’s Nebbiolo and Tuscany’s Sangiovese to fresh white wines from the north and juicy bottles from Sicily and southern Italy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Italian Wine

What is the most famous Italian red wine?

Barolo (from Piedmont) and Brunello di Montalcino (from Tuscany) are considered Italy's vinous royal couple – but many also love Chianti, Amarone and Primitivo.

What do DOC and DOCG mean?

These are quality designations. DOC stands for "Denominazione di Origine Controllata," and DOCG is an even higher classification. They indicate that the wine was made according to specific rules for the region, grape variety, and method.

Most Italian wines are dry , both red and white. However, there are sweet specialties such as Moscato and Recioto – often clearly labeled.
