Unique Italian Wines: Tradition, Terroir and Exceptional Quality

Italy shines as a top destination for wine lovers around the world. With a combination of millennial traditions and a diversity of terroirs, the art of winegrowing reaches extraordinary heights. From renowned red wines such as Sangiovese to Barbera and Nebbiolo, to international varieties such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon, each sip encapsulates the essence of a rich history and an uncompromising focus on superior quality.

Acknowledgements and classifications: From IGT to DOCG

The label of an Italian wine encapsulates a world of prestige and authenticity. Through strict specifications, designations such as IGT, DOC and DOCG give each bottle a unique identity. Classico, Superiore and Riserva designations offer a deeper experience, emphasising authentic origin, high quality and thoughtful ageing.
