Italian wine

Chianti or Barolo

Italian wine encompasses wines produced in Italy, one of the world's largest wine-producing countries.

The term covers an enormous range—from Tuscan Chiantis and Piedmontese Barolos to Venetian Proseccos and Sicilian reds.

We're bringing an Italian wine to dinner.

Italian wines are typically named for their region or grape variety rather than a single branded style.
