Italian Wine - What is that grape?

Posted by The ClassicWines.com Team | Thursday, April 17, 2008

Topic: The wine grapes of Italy

What are some of the grapes used to produce Italian wine? It could be the Nebbiolo, maybe Sangiovese or even an Aleatico grape. Each region of Italy brings its culture, history, climate and wine knowledge together to make distinctive wines for their area. Today we look at the difference between northern and southern Italian wines - and how US consumers interpret Italian wines. Please join us to learn more about the wonderful wines of this region as we speak with Frank Cipparone from The Wine School of Philadelphia.

I believe the grape planted originally by the Greeks is 'Aglianico'. Nice video!

Frank - you hit the nail on the head. Coming from an italian family, my entire bloodline in the northeast is from souther italy - it certainly affects the wine and meals we serve which are different from our northern brethren.
