Grands vins - Italy

Producing more than 20% of the global wine production, the peninsula is brimming with great classics and local surprises thanks to the geographic diversity of its regions and richness of its history. The italian vineyard spreads over 684 000 ha and produces about 46 700 000 hl of wine depending on the year, a larger proportion of white wines than red and rosés.

As high quality as some of the finest wines in the world, the most sought-after come from Tuscany, such as Sassicaia, Ornellaia and Masseto, considered as the italian « Petrus ».
