Italy

Italy’s diverse wine growing regions offers the wine lover varied styles and prices. The vineyards of northern Italy in the regions of Valle d-Aosta, Lombardy, Liguria and Piedmont produce age-worthy, expensive wine commonly made from the Nebbiolo grape. Through into Central Italy and the famous Tuscany wine growing region, producing vintages of Chianti, made from the Sangiovese grape.

Southern Italy specialises in red wine production, where wines are usually cheaper and bargains are to be found. Look out for wines produced on the Italian island of Sicily, a up and coming new region already known for its Marasla fortified wine.
