Greek & Italian Wines

Italian wine production totaled 5.1 million metric tonnes in 2007 by FAO statistics, making Italy the largest wine producer in the world. Some of the best Italian wines come from the great wine regions of Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, Friuli, Puglia, Sardegna and Veneto.

Italian wines are enjoyed around the world and are broadly considered among the most food-friendly. Italian wines feature a number of grape varietals including Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, Vernaccia, Vermentino, Corvina and Prosecco.

"Wine is the poetry breathed from the land."

--Mario Soldati, film director and writer from Turin
