With so many unique terroirs, native and classic grape varietals, winemaking styles and history, we can confidently say that Italy makes wine for every palate and price-range...but where to start?
It's much easier than ever to find inexpensive high-quality wine. In fact, New World wines are often more affordable than Old World wines, and the quality is higher overall. New World wines tend to be fruitier and less oaky (if you're into that), which makes them more appealing to casual drinkers who aren't particularly interested in the technical aspects of wine tasting. But if you really like a bold, tannic wine with lots of oak influence, have no fear—the Old World has plenty of options for your palate as well!
