Arguably the most iconic region for wine, Tuscany has become famous for its Sangiovese and Chianti wines. However, the Brunello and Montepulicano varietals are also quite renowned. Visitors can stay in the gorgeous medieval city of Siena and explore Biondi-Santi, Castello Banfi, and other major vineyards.
Another region that wine lovers should not miss, Umbria is located north of Tuscany. Although the area does not have as many tourists, individuals will find a large variety of great red wines made with Sagrantino grapes. Orvieto, the largest town in Umbria, is known for its white wine blend, which comes in both sweet and dry varieties.
Another key Italian region for wine lovers is Veneto along the Adriatic Sea. A rather humid area, Veneto grows Valpolicella, Soave, Bardalino, and Amarone della Valpolicella grapes. In addition to these incredible reds, the region is known for producing prosecco, a sparking wine.
