Biancos (white wines) in Italian are widely known. Very famous is Trebbiano. Italians used to drink it for lunch because it is an easy wine. Northern Italian wineries produce Pinot Grigio. It is a light and dry wine. In France and in California people know it as Pinot Gris. Golden apple flavored intense Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio is a delicious choice. Piemonte (Piedmont) has the best wine tour offers for travellers.
Chardonnay is a French wine but we find in Italy as well. (They said) "Apricotti" and spice tasty Chardonnay from 2004 is Mandra Rossa. A must try.
Italy grows varietals that are grown nowhere else (well, almost nowhere, although Sangiovese has become fashionable among New World winemakers wanting to do Something Different) in the world. So let's tour around Reds. (Rosso) Oh! What a wines are come!
Cherry fruit and cedar flavored Italian wine is Sangiovese. This the best known one, like Il Poggio Sangiovese from 2008. Cool category Super Tuscans based on Tuscany region wines. Chianti's main ingredient is Sangiovese as well. Chianti is the best of the best. In French oak barrel aged Monsanto Chianti Classico Riserva is from 2008, but it can consumed until 2017.
Cherry fruit and very dark color is La Spinetta Barbera d'Asti Ca Di Pian, a Barbera from Piedmont. Very rich with excellent structure and an intense, elegant color is the Roberto Voerzio Langhe Nebbiolo which is a premium category wine. A must try. The wine spends 18 months in oak followed by six months in bottle. Another one from this category is a deep crimson red color and its nose exhibit intense fruit scent Nebbiolo: Piero Cesare Barolo Ornato from 2003. In the past centuries was a sweet wine up to the mid of 19th Century. But using more hygienic technics in cellars Nebbiolo was able to ferment completely that's why it became dry. Nowadays Barolo, like most Nebbiolo based wines, is known for its light color, lack of opacity.
Merlot is the third main Italian wine which is paired with other varieties. An example for it Vipra Rossa, a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Sangiovese and 10% Montepulciano.
Decades before Italy wines were about quantity but for now due to modern sentiments they produce quality wines which is a real benefit for world wine drinkers.
Cheers!
