Red Wine Styles of Italy
Italy is the world’s largest wine producer. Wine is made in every region of the country and in a
bewildering range of styles. Much wine is made for local consumption and is sold in bulk. Some wines
have been exported in high volumes and sold cheaply – such as the pink light frothy red Lambrusco
and the fruity sweet lightly sparkling wine Spumante. Unfortunately many consumers only know these
wines from Italy or perhaps rustic rough local reds. The world of fine wine in Italy is extensive. Fine
reds from Piemonte (Barolo, Barbera and others), Tuscany (Chianti, Brunello and Montepulciano) and
popular styles (called “Super Tuscans”) have been joined by a new generation of traditional styled
ripassato reds from the Veneto, made in a modern way.
Paula is a Wine Educator and Director of All About Wine. She has travelled extensively through Italy
including participating in Italy’s annual Wine Event ‘Vin Italy’, which is held in Verona in April. 30,000
people from all over the world attend the event to buy, learn and discover more about Italian Wines.
Paula has taken Australian’s to Italy, staying at Winery properties from Rome to Florence. The class
promises to be an extremely enjoyable and educational evening, with 17 wines, lots of comparisons to
make, debate and social interaction. Do join us.
