Italy is one of the most influential wine-growing countries in Europe. Thanks to archaeological investigations, it has been established that wine growing in Italy dates back to the 8th century B.C., the year of the arrival of the Etruscans, followed by the Greeks who favoured its development, as confirmed by some still existing Italian grape varieties such as Aglianico (Hellenic) and Greek. However, it was the Romans who favoured its distribution throughout the empire with the introduction of innovative winemaking techniques. The fall of the Roman Empire marked the decline of the activity, which came back into vogue thanks to the advent of the great Venetian and Florentine merchants, representing those ancient noble families now known as exceptional wine producers such as Frescobaldi and Antinori, who, from the 13th century onwards, started a flourishing wine trade. From the 19th century onwards, viticulture in Italy regained strength thanks to the impetus given by regions such as Tuscany and Piedmont, which applied French techniques to produce their own wines such as: Chianti, Barolo and Brunello. xtraWine presents a collection of the best red wines and white wines from Italy's viticultural heritage, offering wines that boast important awards from Bibenda, Gambero Rosso, Veronelli and AIS. Among the noteworthy wines on xtraWine you can choose from the best regional proposals from north to south such as: wines from Alto Adige, wines from Piedmont, wines from Tuscany, wines from Sicily, wines from Romagna and wines from Puglia produced by the most important wineries such as: Antinori, Marchesi Frescobaldi, Tenute Folonari, Feudi San Gregorio, Terlano, Fontanafredda, Domini Castellare di Castellina, Tasca D'Almerita, Santa Barbara, La Spinetta and Banfi. The uniqueness of Italian wines lies in the fact that they are distinguished by their flavour, intense but also delicate, warm, velvety but also structured, which makes them ideal to accompany the whole meal: from hors d'oeuvres, soups, first courses, shellfish to desserts, you can enjoy your favourite Italian wine indulging in pleasure with every sip.
