Italian Wine Country

Italy not only produces and exports more wine than any other country, it also offers the greatest variety of types of wine.

Wine making in Italy dates back to the ancient Greeks and Etruscans. The Romans later developed a thriving wine trade throughout the Mediterranean and beyond. Their techniques were not equaled again until the 17th or 18th century. Italian winemaking advanced quickly throughouth the 19th century. Now Italy has more types of grapevines planted than any other country, allowing them to produce a greater range of wines than any other country. And today, Italy continues to expand and improve their wine production, meeting growing demands for quality wines.

The winemaking regions in Italy include Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Piedmont, Southern Italy, Trentino-Alto Aldige, Tuscany, and Veneto.
