Italian Wine Varieties
Italian Red Wines cover an enormous range of tastes, aromas and styles. From heavy, rich Barolos, to historic Chianti, modern reds from volcanic mount Etna to the traditional vineyards in Montalcino. Twenty-one red grape varieties make up the red wine family. Here at DesignWine we have a real passion for red wine, and we know you won't be disappointed by our Italian Red Wine Selections.
After all the turmoil concerning Brunello di Montalcino, we visited the area to rediscover the real Brunello, its roots and traditions. While touring these historic vineyards, we were overwhelmed by the passion and the drive of the producers of this famous Tuscan Sangiovese. We selected from numerous tastings, the most original productions that represent the freedom of expression of the classical Brunello.

While on the Tuscan roads, we made a number of wonderful discoveries. During our search for wines we ran into a number of local ancient rivalries. Today these ancient contrasts are found in Wine rivalries, which give life to healthy competition. We have played on these conflicts and created our own challenge between Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino.

In 1800 Marchioness Giulietta Faletti from Barolo, tired of the same old wine, decided to call upon Louis Oudart, a great french oenologist, to have her cellars managed. Not long afterward, Barolo started his raise in history until he became the magnificent and royal wine now known to the whole world.

In this selection we want to compare wines coming from the same grapes but from different areas. Two historical, world renowned areas. But be warned: it will be hard to resist this selection, since it includes both Barbaresco's provoking elegance and Barolo's innate class.

Tuscany and Piedmont are two landmarks regions of Italian wine. We are not trying to decide which region is better, since both produce excellent wines. It is, however, an attempt to dive into history through a discussion stimulated by the scents and flavours of these magnificent wines that range from Brunello to Barolo and Barbaresco to Chianti Classico.

During our last visit to Tuscany we found ourselves lost once again in the scentic hills while driving between the Chianti Classic region and San Gimignano. Two regions dominated by two great wines, the rich tradition of Chianti Classico and the unique flavors of Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
