Alto Adige
Italy is definitely more
famous for its red wines.
However, these three
regions of Alto Adige,
Campania, and Friuli
produce some of the best
white wines in the world.

If you’re into natural wines
give the Coenobeum a shot.

Vermentino is one of Italy’s
best white grapes. It goes
by several different names
in different regions, but
whether it’s Favorita from
Piedmont or Pigato from
Liguria you can bet it’s
going to be briny, mediumbodied, and delicious. Also
look for examples from
Southern France and
Corsica!

Riesling, the world’s noblest

produces a dry, organic,

Alsace.

Piedmont
Piedmont needs no
introduction. Arguably
Italy’s preeminent
winemaking region, it
features some of Italy’s
most talented winemakers
and legendary wines.
Southern Italian wines like
those from Puglia are great
if you’re looking for
something jammier and not
as dry as other Italian reds.
The climate is warmer
down there and more
concentrated wines are
made from the ripe fruit.

Sardinia
Island wines, those from
Sicily and Sardinia, almost
deserve their own category
because they’re that good
and unique! There’s so
much quality available
whether it’s the Piedmontlike Etna Rosso or
Provence-esque Carignano.
Tuscany: such an incredible
variety of producer styles,
appellations, and flavor
profiles, and most of it from
one main grape! Whether
it’s a particular expression
of Sangiovese or some new
Bordeaux-style blend
Tuscany has a wine for
everyone.

Everybody loves
Valpolicella Ripasso.
Halfway between regular
Valpolicella and Amarone,
it’s got the right balance
between richness and
elegance.

our list has a heavy bias
