Italian wine

Throughout their long and varied history, the Italian’s have developed a robust wine making tradition. According to Life in Italy, wine making was exported to the boot-shaped peninsula from the Hellenistic world during the age of antiquity. The practice was quickly taken up by the Romans, who proceeded to plant vines across Europe.

The Romans may have fallen at the close of the 5th Century A.D., but the rise of Catholicism ensured that Italian wine making survived their demise. The importance of wine in the Catholic ‘mass,’ ensured that various regions throughout Italy, such as Tuscany, developed vine growing industries which have lasted right through to the modern day.  

Toscana IGT


The Central Italian region of Tuscany has developed one of the most famous wine making traditions on the planet. Today it cultivates a variety of popular grapes including Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay.

The Italian government has created an appellation system, comparable to similar programmes in France, to protect certain Tuscan wines. In the 1970’s, the government created a new classification called Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT). The “super Tuscan” vintages that fall into this category, such as the Toscana IGT, are considered high quality wines that deserve their extremely high price tags.
