Wine is produced in each of Italy’s twenty regions, and when you take into account that there are more than 300 varietals in use today (the exact number is not known - it could be as high as 600), you can imagine the remarkable variety of Italian wines available, be they white, red, rosato, passito or sparkling. 

Everyone who knows a little about the wines of Italy is familiar with Barolo, Barbaresco, Amarone, Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico and dozens more. For this article, however, I will sing the praises of some of the country’s less famous wines.
