Italy

Italy is as famous for its accessible Prosecco and Pinot Grigio as it is for its legendary Barolo, Barbaresco and Super Tuscan. There are superb examples of the international grape varieties produced; however, Italy has more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and we are constantly surprised by the diversity of hidden gems. This peninsular extends 750 miles through approximately 10 different degrees of latitude, where climate changes from Continental in the north, to Mediterranean in the central and southern zones. Italy is still the leading producer of wine and it’s easy to understand why top quality fruit is in abundance in this bountiful country.
