ITALIAN WINE REGIONS AT A GLANCE

PIEDMONT Is surrounded by the Alps and the Mediterranean. The geography leads to thick morning fog and abundant sun in the afternoon, perfect for producing a wide range of powerful wines.

VALLE D'AOSTA Is home to the highest elevated vineyards in all of Europe and known for light bodied, exquisite wines.

LOMBARDY A diverse climate and terrain allow growth of the widest array of varieties in Italy. Known for production of sparkling wines.

TRENTINO-ALTO ADIGE Strong Germanic influences have lead to production of wines like no others in Europe. Wines tend to be sweeter, bold, and fruit forward.

FRUILI The Alpine climate and heavy Austrian influence has directed wine makers of this region to produce Italy's best white wines, and fruity, yet spicy, lighter bodied reds.

VENETO Protected by the Alps to the north, Veneto's moderate climate and modernized wine making techniques produce some of the hardiest and most infamous wines in the world.

LIGURIA High cliffs and abundant coastline have challenged wine producers to become innovators in producing some of the world's most complex and powerful wines.

TUSCANY Italy's most famous wine region. Known for Chianti, Vino Nobile, Brunello, and so on. Wines are unique to each sub region in Tuscany and are among some of the worlds most enjoyed.

UMBRIA A hilly region known more for agriculture rather than wine production. Wines are known for being heavy, tannic, and of the highest quality.

MARCHE A little known region with mineral rich soil and a dry maritime climate. Wines tend to be herbal, mineral rich, and light bodied.

ABRUZZO A mountainous region known for traditional techniques. Wines are hearty with subtle nuances of fruit and old world flair.

PUGLIA Italy's largest producing wine region. The focus of wine in Puglia is to produce well balanced wines in their acidity, sweetness, alcohol content and density.

BASILICATA Mountainous terrain and extreme climatic conditions make wine production difficult. Wines are refined, full bodied, and well balanced.

SICILY Italy's largest grape growing region. Grapes tend to endure long periods of growth reflecting in wines that are mature, light, and fruit forward.
