1. Chianti
It is the most famous Italian wine and at the same time one of the most popular in the world. Chianti has an extremely intense red color and dry taste. It is produced in Tuscany and contains 11.5-12.5% alcohol. Among the several varieties of Chianti, the one with black rooster is the most valued, which – as you can easily guess – is also the most expensive. The original Chianti wine is poured into very specific round bottles, which are placed in a woven basket.
2. Amarone (Amaeone della Valpolicella)
This wine is produced in the Veneto region, where the whole production process is quite specific, because only dried grapes are used. This wine is traditionally aged in oak barrels for about three years. Amarone is a red wine available in dry and semi-dry form and is highly concentrated.
3. Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo is produced in the Piedmont region, where vineyards are usually located on hillsides. This wine is considered one of the noblest varieties, and its maturation period in oak barrels is at least 24-36 months.
4. Marsala
Extremely sweet red wine produced in Sicily in the city of Marsala. The alcohol content in the wine oscillates between 15-18%. Marsala is usually drunk with sweet desserts, but sometimes it is served with appetizers or as an aperitif.
