11 Italian White Wines That Prove You Should Be Drinking From the Boot This Summer
11 Italian White Wines That Prove You Should Be Drinking From the Boot This Summer
Move over, rosé. By SARA L. SCHNEIDER Every communique on great Italian wines kicks off with a litany of reds: Piedmont’s Barolo and Barbaresco, Tuscany’s Chianti Classico Riserva and Brunello di Montalcino and so on. While I’m happy to stipulate that those bottles deserve icon status, they do suck the oxygen out of the room for another noteworthy cache of Italian wines—the country’s exciting whites. Made from a myriad of broadly unfamiliar indigenous varieties, as well as international knowns like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, the whites in this powerhouse of a wine country offer a taste adventure without the usual reference points. Audrey Frick, Italian wine reviewer...

Fresh, Crisp and Savory: The Indigenous White Wine Grapes of Northern Italy
Fresh, Crisp and Savory: The Indigenous White Wine Grapes of Northern Italy
BY KERIN O’KEEFE Tenuta-Roveglia vineyard in Brescia, Italy / Photo by Stefano Casati Ubiquitous and often uninspiring, Pinot Grigio is the best-known Italian white wine. And while there are some good, and even great, bottlings, Italy has so much more to offer. Producers create excellent wines from non-native Italian grapes like Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Blanc and Kerner, mainly from select areas in northern Italy. However, some of the most exciting white wines from up and down the peninsula come from Italy’s native grapes. To explore the expanse of Italian white wines made with indigenous grapes, we start in the north of the...

21 Spring Wines To Taste From All Over Italy
21 Spring Wines To Taste From All Over Italy
The attractions of Italian wines change constantly. Three reasons are as follows. First, each of Italy’s 20 administrative regions produce wines, and the country grows a huge number—some 350—of different grape varieties used for producing vintages. This viticultural diversity allows for a huge range of blends and styles; it also allows for previously little known grape varieties to occasionally emerge as fresh stars on the wine scene because of their contemporarily unique or differentiating characteristics. (Check out the wines listed below: they include a white wine from Sicily made from the Zebibbo grape.) ... Azienda Agricola Cogno. Anas – Cëtta....

In Barolo, 11 Distinct Villages Create the King of Wines
In Barolo, 11 Distinct Villages Create the King of Wines
BY KERIN O’KEEFE Traditionally, Barolo has been made by blending Nebbiolo from different vineyards and from more than one of the 11 villages. While that approach is still the backbone of the denomination, many producers also make single-designation Barolos from the 170 officially delimited crus or vineyard sites (technically known as Additional Geographical Mentions or Definitions) spread out among the villages. ... Novello Bordering on the town of Barolo, Novello has several good vineyards and one of the denomination’s premier vineyard sites, Ravera. Before the 1990s, some producers sourced grapes from here for their blended Barolos, but the village remained little known. The late producer Elvio...

A Great White Barolo-Land?
A Great White Barolo-Land?
Once-forgotten Nascetta reemerges in Italy’s Piedmont Even after a quarter-century of experiments, Elvio Cogno winemaker Valter Fissore continues to try new winemaking techniques with Nascetta. Here he compares two recent vintages made in different styles. (Robert Camuto) By Robert Camuto Sep 1, 2020 The sleepy hilltop town of Novello nestles at the southwestern edge of the Barolo appellation, typically overshadowed by its more famous neighbors: Monforte d’Alba to the east and Barolo to the north. Influenced by the frigid Alps to the west and the warm Ligurian Sea to the south, Novello’s microclimate is known for constant winds, big winter...
