Italian Red Wine
Italian red wine is known for its rich and complex flavors and is considered to be some of the best in the world. The country's varied terroir and climate, along with its long history of winemaking, has led to a wide variety of grape varieties and styles of red wine.
One of the most popular and well-known Italian red wines is Chianti. Made in the Tuscany region of Italy, Chianti is a blend of mostly Sangiovese grapes, with small amounts of Canaiolo and/or Colorino. Chianti is known for its bright acidity and red fruit flavors like cherry and strawberry, with a hint of spice. Chianti Classico, which is made with grapes grown in a specific area within the Chianti region, is considered to be of the highest quality. We offer a variety of Chianti wines, such as the Riserva di Fizzano Chianti Classico Riserva DOCG that is a perfect choice for those who want to experience the traditional taste of Chianti.

Known as the "king of wines and the wine of kings", Barolo is considered to be one of the finest red wines in the world. It has a deep ruby color and complex aromas of roses, tar, and truffles, with flavors of black fruit, licorice, and tobacco.
