Red & White Wines of Italy

Italy is the world’s largest red 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 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.
