Italian Wine - What is that grape?

Written By: Classic Wines team on Thu, Apr 17th 2008

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.
