Wine Tasting in Italy

Italy’s Tuscany and Veneto regions, famed for their ruby red wines that are endowed with immaculate color and superb aroma. Apart from its widespread reputation in the fashion world, Italy is also famed for its exotic vineyards and world-class wines that are born out of a classical combination of Sangiovese vine and customary cannaiolo, malvasia, trebbiano vines. So it is no wonder that thousands of wine lovers from all over the world flock to these regions for wine testing every year.

Now, there are two ways of doing it – either you plan it on your own or come through specially organized wine Tasting Package Tours offered by many Italian tour operators. Some of these are quite flexible, providing you the opportunity of customizing the tour to your pocket and taste. Nevertheless, whatever way you may choose, you are going to explore the enchanting vineyards and wineries of Tuscany including Chianti, Classico, Montalbano, Colli Fiorentini and Rufina. And don’t forget to visit some of the well-liked Chianti vineyards to taste their delectable product that is well appreciated all over the world as one of the finest Red Wines.


But your wine tasting in Italy is not over yet. Tell your tour operator to take you to the famed vineyards and wineries of Euganean Hills, Valpolicella and especially to Conegliano which is well-known for its Prosecco di Coneglino wines. And of course you must also visit the wine producing regions in Italy that include the Collio region known for its dazzling Whit Wine, Suavignon; Friuli Region, Valpolicella, Montalcino and Montepulciano – inimitable wines ever produced in Italy or elsewhere.

While we are on the subject, it may be relevant to tell you not to concentrate only on the wines; spread you eyes and look at the compelling sceneries all around you. Some of the Italian vineyards are as picturesque as postcard graphics that fills the heart with sublime views of the nature, so rare to come across in our day to day city life. Cheerio, and best of luck for a happy wine tasting holiday in fairyland Italy.
