Italian wine

If you ever needed an excuse to open a bottle of Italian wine, this is it.

There's a special moment at the end of a good Italian meal, when you're full and happy but not quite ready to leave the table. This is often when a small glass of something sweet and aromatic appears. In Italy, dessert wine isn't just an afterthought; it’s a cherished part of the dining culture.

Autumn marks the grape harvest, and there’s nothing quite like soaking in the enchanting atmosphere among Italy's vineyards. Italy boasts an incredible wine heritage, with its rolling hills, plains, and terraced landscapes offering stunning backdrops for excellent wine production.

In 2019, the production of wine sold in the European Union (including sparkling wine, port and grape must) reached almost 16 billion litres.

Welcome to Montepulciano: a little, medieval town built in Tuscany (Italy), surrounded by vineyards and picture-perfect countryside, the Val di Chiana and the Val d’Orcia.
