ITALY<br />

Italy is home<br />

to some of the<br />

oldest and<br />

most renowned<br />

wine-producing<br />

regions in the<br />

world.<br />

2% of the Italian population is<br />

involved in the harvest each<br />

year.<br />

The most popular grape<br />

Sangiovese is planted in 10%<br />

of all vineyards in Italy and<br />

translates to ‘Blood of Jupiter’.<br />

The Italian word for wine, vino,<br />

comes from the Sanskrit word<br />

“venas”, which translates to<br />

love. It’s also where the name<br />

“Venus”, the Roman goddess<br />

of love, comes from. We like<br />

to think these two words go<br />

together quite well.<br />

Italy is a fascinating wine country, with a rich history,<br />

diverse regions, and a wide variety of grapes and<br />

styles. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the rugged<br />

mountains of the Dolomites, Italy is home to some of<br />

the oldest and most renowned wine-producing regions<br />

in the world. As the largest wine producer in the world,<br />

Italy offers something for every wine lover, from crisp,<br />

refreshing whites to rich, full-bodied reds.<br />

One of the most iconic Italian grapes is Sangiovese,<br />

which is grown primarily in Tuscany and is the main<br />

grape variety used in the production of Chianti<br />

and Brunello di Montalcino. The wines made from<br />

Sangiovese are known for their bright red fruit flavours<br />

and high acidity. Another popular grape variety from the<br />

north of Italy is Nebbiolo, grown in the Piedmont region,<br />

which is known for its highly tannic and long-lived<br />

wines, like Barolo and Barbaresco.<br />

Moving to the south, Aglianico is a grape variety that is<br />

mostly grown in the Campania region and is known for<br />

its complex and full-bodied wines, with strong tannins.<br />

Nero d'Avola is another southern grape variety that is<br />

mostly grown in Sicily, it's known for its rich and spicy<br />

flavours, and good structure. Lastly, there is Primitivo<br />

known for its high alcohol content, and strong fruity<br />

flavour.
