Italian White Wine Varieties

Italy’s white wines are diverse, and there is one for every occasion and every budget. Some of the finest white (and red) wines come from the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, located in northeastern Italy, where winemaking dates back to Roman times.

Pinot Blanco: Known as Pinot Blanc in France, this grape is planted widely in northwest Italy, where it has a lighter, crisper style and is just lightly oaked, if at all.  At times, it is used in blended wines and forms the background for the sparkling wine, Franciacorta. It pairs well with seafood, light-flavored meats, and mild cheeses. We recommend the Elena Walch Pinot Bianco with its fruity aromas, fresh apple notes and the touch of herbs in the bouquet.

Pinot Grigio: This fine white wine has crisp, light, fruit flavors that go well with chicken, shellfish, rich fish and pastas. Try Ruffino Lumina Pinot Grigio, a medium bodied, lively, and elegant white wine; Santa Cristina Pinot Grigio, which is straw yellow in color and has delicate aromas of orange flowers, bananas and tropical fruit; or the Kris Pinot Grigio, which is vibrant and crisp and offers delicate aromas of acacia flower and citrus.

Sauvignon Blanc: One of the driest, crispest white wines, Sauvignon Blanc has a refreshing quality. This versatile wine works well with a range of foods, including chicken, seafood, cheese, oysters and vegetables and is suitable year-round. Enjoy the Bastianich Sauvignon Blanc, an excellent full-bodied wine from the hills of Friuli, or the highly regarded Vie Di Romans Piere Sauvignon Blanc with its classic varietal aromas of tomato leaf, exotic fruit and citrus that practically jump out of the glass.
