The extraordinary diversity of Italian wines

Italy is unique in the world of wine: no other country can boast such diversity in terms of terroir, microclimates, and native varieties. From north to south, from the Alps to the islands, Italy boasts a millennial wine heritage that is expressed through over 500 native grape varieties and hundreds of appellations, each with its own history and identity. This extraordinary biodiversity, combined with winemaking traditions rooted in antiquity, has enabled Italy to become a leader in the production of quality wines that tell the stories of their territories and communities. From sparkling wines to meditation wines

From sparkling wines to meditation wines

The Italian wine scene embraces every possible style: from the elegant sparkling wines of Franciacorta and Trentodoc to the mineral whites of Alto Adige, from the structured reds of Piedmont and Tuscany to the volcanic wines of Campania and Sicily. Each region offers its own excellence, in a kaleidoscope of flavors that reflects the extraordinary landscape and cultural variety of our country, where tradition and innovation are in constant dialogue.

The leading wineries in the Tannico selection

Our collection of Italian wines represents the best of national production: from big names such as Gaja, Antinori, and Giacomo Conterno to iconic producers such as Valentini, Sassicaia, and Ornellaia. There is no shortage of historic estates such as Biondi Santi, the cradle of Brunello, and Bertani, the emblem of Amarone, alongside cult producers such as Gravner, a pioneer of orange wines, and Arianna Occhipinti, a symbol of the new Sicily. For sparkling wines, Ferrari, Bellavista, and Ca' del Bosco represent the excellence of the classic method, while Planeta, Donnafugata, and Tasca d'Almerita tell the story of the wine renaissance in the South.
