Valpolicella is one of northern Italy's best-known red wines, typically made from Corvina, Rondinella and Corvinone grapes.

Barbera is one of Italy's most widely planted grape varieties and produces wonderfully juicy, vibrant wines.

One of Italy's most underrated white wines, Soave Classico is made primarily from the Garganega grape.

Often overshadowed by Champagne, Franciacorta is Italy's answer to the French classic fizz, delivering elegance and complexity.

One of the largest islands in the Med, sunny Sicily is steeped in rich winemaking history and now stands at the forefront of Italy's wine revolution.
