From chianti to bardolino, Italy knows how to make outstanding red wines. Since
Italians are equally famous for creating bold cuisine and irresistible dishes,
it stands to reason that their wine production would follow suit. Some of the
greatest red wines in the world come from Italy, and for good reason--from the
climate to the soil and the love this culture holds for wine, it's no surprise
when an amazing Italian red knocks your socks off.
For a more austere,
crisp red Italian wine, opt for those produced in the northern section of the
country, such as Piedmont. Looking for a super bold, earthy, and complex bottle?
Try the central Tuscany wines. Each area of Italy boasts vastly different
climate and soils, so your options are varied. Chianti, amarone, Barolo,
barbaresco--there's a wide range of palates. So much wine, so little time.
The Many Flavors of Italian Red
Wines
Chianti is highly acidic, with notes of plum and
cherry, and is an excellent option for pairing with meats. Barolo, Italy's other
powerhouse red, is a huge wine. A great vintage will produce notes of chocolate,
tobacco, strawberry, and vanilla, and they get better with age. Amarone tastes
lush, concentrated, and complex, while a solid barbaresco is somewhat softer,
with brilliant structure and less acidity.
