Italian wines, great terroirs, prestigious appellations and exceptional bottles

Italian wines are admired for their balance between tradition, authenticity and diversity. They can be powerful, elegant, sun-filled, mineral, fresh, deep or delicately evolved. Their strength lies in the expression of native grape varieties, the richness of terroirs and the ability of each region to produce wines with a strong personality.

Brunello di Montalcino: a great age-worthy wine made from Sangiovese, admired for its depth, notes of dark fruit, leather, spices, noble earth and remarkable ageing potential.

Chianti Classico: an emblematic Tuscan wine, marked by cherry, violet, Mediterranean herbs and beautiful freshness. It naturally pairs with Italian cuisine and savoury dishes.

Bolgheri and Super Tuscans: prestigious cuvées often made from blends with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Cabernet Franc. They offer power, richness, depth and strong ageing capacity.

Vino Nobile di Montepulciano: an elegant expression of Sangiovese, with a balanced, structured and gastronomic profile.

Barolo: often called the king of wines, it offers power, depth, firm tannins and aromas of rose, black cherry, truffle, tobacco, leather and undergrowth. It is one of Italy’s great age-worthy wines.

Barbaresco: also made from Nebbiolo, it often shows a more elegant and refined expression, with finer tannins and great aromatic precision.

Dolcetto and Barbera: more accessible red wines, fruity and generous, ideal with pasta, charcuterie, white meats and everyday dishes.

Gavi and Piedmont whites: fresh, dry and precise wines, often marked by citrus, white flowers and fine mineral tension.

Amarone della Valpolicella: a great dry red wine made from partially dried grapes, offering concentration, ripe fruit, cocoa, spices, depth and remarkable ageing potential.

Valpolicella: a softer and fruitier red, marked by cherry, red fruit and gentle spices. It pairs beautifully with generous Italian cuisine.

Soave: a white wine from Veneto made mainly from Garganega, offering finesse, freshness, floral notes, citrus, pear and sometimes a fine mineral character.

Recioto: a wine made from dried grapes, rarer, rich and aromatic, with notes of candied fruit, chocolate, spices and great intensity.

For an Italian meal: choose Chianti Classico, Brunello, Barolo, Barbaresco or Valpolicella depending on the intensity of the dish.
