What is your opinion about italian wines?

This weekend, from the 7th -10th April you can visit one of Italy's largest wine exhibitions. Held in Verona each year, Vinitaly is the perfect place for those who like Italian Wine. With many different brands to sample, It has to be a great day out!

For more info, visit the ViniItaly website.
 
Well, two more days left :)
I'm not a big fan of wine though, I prefer whisky :D I'm kidding!
I rarely drink any alcohol and, whenever I buy a bottle of wine (which is usually chosen randomly from the shelves), it can take me weeks to finish it.
 
Italian wines for me? :confused: I would not know how to enjoy them without an Italian wine tasting class. I'd love to attend a wine event, if I ever got the chance to. Otherwise I would remember it the wrong way.
 
My preference is always Italian white wine and then French if I have to. I find Italian wines better quality and they suit me and the types of food I eat. House wines in Italians restaurants I have always found to be excellent quality and cheap, because they have pride in what they produce themselves.
 
I'm big on white wine, and not so much on red, whoops. I really love Moscato d'Asti, though that is a sparkling desert wine. It's always fun to bring a bottle of it to a party though, and explain what it is and where it's from. It's also great to get people into wine, because you have to work up to more heady or bitter wines. :D
 
Pinot Grigio is my favorite wine! I love its fruity flavors and the smell is lovely! If there is one thing Italians know how to do perfectly, it is wine!

When we went to Italy a couple of years ago, we went for a wine tasting experience. We traveled to a local brewers that had hundreds of different wines and it was beautiful! The place was gorgeous and the wine even better. They made all the wines themselves and held experience days for people which I thought was a brilliant way to make more money. I plan on going back there when we travel to Italy again it was brilliant. I would recommend if you go to Italy, try out one of the wine tasting days!
 
Italian wines are my favourite as there is such a broad variety to choose from. Italy has some of the oldest wine producing regions in the world, with more than one million vineyards. Evergreen wines such as chianti and soave are my favourites, also sweet wines like moscatos and passitos are to be enjoyed.

There is a lot to interest a wine expert with Italian offerings as there are 20 different wine regions and all have their own unique differences to learn and appreciate.
 
Italy is home to some of the oldest wine-producing regions in the world.Italian wines are known worldwide for their broad variety. Italy is the world’s largest wine producer by volume.A perfect wine from a classic vintage, the 2007 Masseto opens with an unabashedly opulent bouquet of delicious blackberry, cherry, chocolate, vanilla, exotic spice and cinnamon.In my opinion Italy produces some of the best wine in the world. Anyone who has been to Italy knows the Italian attitude to life - rules are there to be broken, and the same is true in their wine industry. The government introduced a classification system loosely based on the French Appellation Controlee.
 
My husband I like the sweeter/dessert like favors if wine. I can not recall any wine that stood out when we were there. It makes me kind of sad that I did not taste more of it while we visited. Any websites that sell and ship wine from Italy? Wonder about the cost to ship it from Italy to the U.S.
 
I don’t know much about wine, but I feel that I can definitely taste a difference between a good wine and a cheap wine. My favorite red wine is Chianti. I feel this tastes great with a traditional Italian meal. I also am a fan of the Ruffino brands of wine. They are a little expensive but are great for a special occasion.
