ITALIAN RED WINES

Are you searching for the best Italian red wine?

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.
