Wines from Italy

Italy is one of the oldest and most diverse wine-producing countries in the world. Its climate ranges from the hot, dry Mediterranean coast to the cooler Alpine foothills in the north, with a variety of microclimates in between. As a result, Italy produces a wide range of grape varieties and wine styles.

Italian wine styles include everything from light and fruity to full-bodied and tannic, with a variety of sparkling wines, fortified wines, and dessert wines as well.

Popular Types of Italian Wine

From the sunny shores of Sicily to the rolling hills of Tuscany, Italy boasts a treasure trove of wine styles that are as diverse as the country's landscape. So, what type of wine comes from Italy? Well, some of the most famous grape varieties include Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Montepulciano for reds and Pinot Grigio, Vermentino, and Trebbiano for whites. These give rise to a symphony of flavours, from crisp and refreshing whites like Pinot Grigio to bold, age-worthy reds like Barolo (made from Nebbiolo). Whether you're a seasoned Italian wine enthusiast or just starting your journey, there's a bottle waiting to transport you to the heart of Italy.

Shop Italian Wines in Singapore

Buying Italian wine online or in-store in Singapore? Remember that region and style significantly influence the taste. A crisp Pinot Grigio from Veneto will be a world apart from a bold Barolo from Piedmont! Consider the occasion too — a light and fruity Lambrusco might be perfect for a casual gathering, while a celebratory dinner might call for a prestigious Brunello di Montalcino.

Price can also be a helpful guide. It often reflects the winemaking techniques and the age of the wine. Higher-priced Italian wines might come from renowned producers or have undergone extended ageing, resulting in a richer, more nuanced taste. But don't worry, there are fantastic Italian wines at every price point!

Ultimately, the best way to find your perfect Italian wine is to explore and experiment. Don't hesitate to ask for recommendations from our knowledgeable team or browse our online resources to discover new and exciting bottles.
