Italy is one of the world’s most significant sources of wine. Boasting a history of fermenting grapes that goes back thousands of years, the country has a well-deserved reputation as a center for excellence in wineries. These wineries come from twenty designated regions, but there are three regions that are widely acknowledged as representing the very best that Italy has to offer. These regions are as follows:
- Alto Adige: Found in the shadow of the Italian Alps, the beautiful vineyards of Alto Adige specialize in crisp, dry white wines. You can experience the taste of this region in the form of Pinot Grigio.
- Piedmont: Up in the northwest corner of Italy, Piedmont is famous for producing robust, super-dry wines. Their wines include Barolo and Barbaresco.
- Tuscany: For many people, this is the single most recognizable name in Italian wine regions. Tuscany wines are made from the Sangiovese grape, which is offered in a wide range of quality and price levels.
