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.
