James Suckling - Wine Spectator
  2008-10-03
 

James Suckling, famous journalist of Wine Spectator, talked about Italian white wines, selected top-scoring and top value ones.
For many, Italian white wine means Pinot Grigio. Grown from the southern tip of Sicily to the northern edge of Alto Adige on the Austrian border, the grape makes mostly simple, easy-drinking wines that could come from just about any Italian wine region.
But if these are all you have tried, you’re missing out. There is so much more: Italian white wines prove that Italy is the one of the most diverse white-wine producing country in the world.
