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.

What is a traditional Italian wine?
Ah, "traditional" Italian wine! That can mean so many things, given the incredible diversity of Italy's wine regions. But generally, it brings to mind wines made with native Italian grapes and time-honoured techniques. Think Chianti Classico from Tuscany, with its Sangiovese grapes and signature straw-wrapped bottle, or a crisp Pinot Grigio from the north. These wines represent the heart and soul of Italian winemaking.
What are the 4 quality levels of Italian wine?
Italy takes its wine seriously! They have a four-tier quality system to help you understand what's in the bottle:
- Vino da Tavola (VdT): Everyday table wines with fewer regulations.
- Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT): Wines from a specific region with some rules about grape varieties.
- Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC): Wines from specific regions with stricter rules to ensure quality and typicity.
- Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita (DOCG): The top tier! These wines meet even stricter standards and are often considered the best of the best.
