Of the total 20 wine regions in Italy, the six in the North (Piedmont, Lombardy, Trentino, Veneto, Friuli, Emilia-Romagna) provide half of the Italian wine and account for more than half of the DOCG.
It is in Piedmont that you will find the best reds in Italy, such as Barolo or Barbaresco, which are tannic wines with aromas of cocoa and spices.
Tuscany also offers good red wines with Brunello di Montalcino, which have powerful and complex aromas, and Chianti, certainly the most well-known wine in Italy.
The region of Veneto is home to a large number of very renowned Italian wines. With Amarone, Soave, Bardolino, and Valpolicella form a quartet of the most well-known wines of the region.
