In the Veneto region, Soave and Garganega are the stars of the show. Wineries like Pieropan, Suavia, and Inama craft exceptional white wines that showcase the elegance and aromatic complexity of the Garganega grape. These wines feature flavors of ripe stone fruits, floral nuances, and a vibrant acidity that make them highly versatile and food-friendly.
Moving south to Sicily, vineyards like Planeta and Donnafugata produce captivating white wines that reflect the island's unique terroir. Wines made from native grape varieties such as Grillo and Carricante exhibit a lively acidity, tropical fruit aromas, and a distinct mineral character that sets them apart.
From north to south, Italy's fine white wines offer an incredible range of flavors, styles, and terroir expressions. Whether you're sipping a crisp Friulano, a complex Tuscan white, an aromatic Venetian white, or an elegant Sicilian white, Italian white wines transport you to the sun-soaked vineyards and capture the essence of Italy's winemaking heritage.

James Suckling (94)Wonderful nose of yellow roses, fresh pineapple and jasmine, with delicately spicy overtones. Stunning ripeness and concentration, but even more importantly, almost impeccable balance for a grape variety that’s a winemaker’s nightmare. Very long, silky finish, where the 15% alcohol is barely perceptible. Drink or hold. |
