Italian wines are known worldwide for their broad variety with grapes harvested in almost every region of the country. Etruscans and Greek settlers produced wine in Italy before the Romans started their own vineyards in the 2nd century B.C. Roman grape-growing and winemaking was prolific and well-organized, pioneering large-scale production and storage techniques like barrel-making and bottling. As you can see from the map to the left, the extensive latitudinal range of the country permits wine growing from the Alps in the North bordering France, Switzerland and Austria to almost-within-sight of Africa in the South. The fact that Italy is a peninsula with a long shoreline adjacent to both the Adriatic sea on one side to the Mediterranean sea on the other, contributes to moderating climates to the coastal wine regions. Extensive mountains and foothills provide many altitudes for grape growing and a variety of climate and soil conditions. We have researched, visited and sought out the very best examples of each varietal that Italy has to offer. From the cooler Northern climates of the Fruili-Venezia Giulia region, world renowned for producing Sauvignons and Pinots, through central Tuscany, where you’ll find amazing Super Tuscans and Chianti’s and to the south and islands where tough grapes and intense sun create amazing Nero d’Avola and Greco varieties. As such we have divided the country up into 3 ‘bite size’ chunks: North, Central and South & Islands, so enabling you to understand the relationship of the “terroir” of the geographical location, to the grape varietal you are drinking. We want you to experience as many of these different wines as possible so we are offering an impressive selection of over 20 wines by the glass and variety to hopefully allow you to go on a wine journey with us. All in, Italy is perfectly set up for producing a vast range of amazing wines for every varietal. We are passionate about this and want to ‘show off’ Italy and all its produce, so we have created an ‘All Italian‘ wine list for you to enjoy. So keen are we for you to try some of our finest wine & champagnes you will notice we have only added a nominal mark up. Salute!
