Italian white wines

Italy is not only about red wine. From the cool hills of the north-east to the volcanic soils of the south, the peninsula has hundreds of native white grapes — many of them grown in just a handful of villages.

Our selection includes fresh, aromatic whites made for an aperitivo, as well as structured wines aged on the lees or in wood that can carry a whole meal. Each comes from a family winery we know and chose for its identity, not its label.

Italian whites are usually served at 8–12 °C: cooler for young, aromatic wines, slightly warmer for aged ones. They pair with fish, seafood, seasonal vegetables and fresh cheeses.
