Italian Wine

An Introduction to Italian Wines

When you think of wine, one of the first places you should think of in the modern day is Italy. The Italians are the leaders in wine producing, both for volume and exports, in the world. They have been involved in the viticulture scene for over 4,000 years, solidifying their position at the top of the food chain – or more, ‘wine chain’ – over this extended period of time. Italy has more than 20 different regions that focus on making Italian wine, all with different cultures and talents in the industry.

Some of the most well-known locations for Italian white wine, Italian red wine, and Italian sparkling wine, include Tuscany and Piedmont to name a few. One of the most infamous, Sicily, is not only the largest Mediterranean Sea-based island, but is also home to the most dynamic wine industry in Europe – if not the world! It is known as one of the bulk centres for wine production, a title which has been carried through generations of Sicilian winemakers.

We have a wide range for Italian wine lovers and newcomers alike, with different potencies, undertones, and more. There is something for everyone when shopping for wine By Country.
