VENETO
Veneto is Italy’s most productive region in the north east. Best known for its DOC districts in Valpolicella
and Soave, which produce wines made with the Corvina and Garganega grape varieties respectively. Veneto became really popular among international wine enthusiasts with Pinot Grigio
and Prosecco,
both showing an
outstanding Q/P ratio.
With well over 20 DOC zones, genuine quality is never far away !
Abruzzo & Toscana
Tuscany
is the most important wine region in central Italy, locally known as Toscana. Tuscany is where Italian language, art and arguably culture as we know it today originates. This also translates to its stature among Italian wine – Chianti
(responsible for probably the best wine reference ever made in a movie) and Montepulciono d'Abruzzo
are just two of the DOC zones which are synonymous with the classic Italian style. In terms of grape varieties, this is very much the home of Sangiovese – the red grape behind Chianti’s rise to fame.
Puglia
Puglia's
big, fruit-laden reds are now very widely-respected, and today is what Puglia is known for showing an exceptional value for money. Primitivo
is the darling of the region, which is otherwise known as Zinfandel in the USA. Local red variety
Sangiovese
is another fine example of a Puglian red, with great depth of colour, flavour and high alcohol content. Along with Sicily, Puglia is argued by growing numbers to be among Italy’s
most exciting regions
in the modern era.
Sicilia
Sicily
wine region is the most southernmost in Italy and the largest island in the Mediterranean. To compliment its size, it boasts a wonderful and diverse array of native varieties, including Nero d’Avola
that is most widely planted, with a tannic, rich flavour profile and punchy acidity.
Emporio Alessandro
brand is a tribute to Alessandro Monteotti efforts to develop the family company at an international level. Alessandro introduce a wider diversity of the italian most famous regions. All of the Monteotti wine range are now available with this new brand.
