At <a href=\"http:\/\/www.baralefratelli.it\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Barale Fratelli<\/a> this wine has been produced for over 150 years by generations of the Barale family, who endeavour to reflect the authenticity of Nebbiolo grapes, and ultimately the wine&#8217;s origin, Piedmont. Visit the winery with Trafalgar on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/northern-italy-including-cinque-terre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Northern Italy<\/a> trip where you&#8217;ll have the chance to pair the wine with the rich meat dishes of northern Italian cuisine. For an alternative, try the Moscato d&#8217;Asti at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nicolavini.com\/it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nico Lavini<\/a> winery within the Asti wine region. This sweet sparkling wine is made from Moscato bianco grapes, reminiscent of nectarines and blossom and produced across northwest Italy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6477\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/07\/PiedmontVineyards_iStock_treeffe_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Italy's Wine Regions\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PiedmontVineyards_iStock_treeffe_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PiedmontVineyards_iStock_treeffe_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PiedmontVineyards_iStock_treeffe_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PiedmontVineyards_iStock_treeffe_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PiedmontVineyards_iStock_treeffe_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/PiedmontVineyards_iStock_treeffe_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Lombardy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With Milan at its heart and the Italian Lakes within its borders, the Lombardy region is undeniably alluring to travellers. Its wine is yet another draw; Valtellina wine region lies within Lombardy \u2013 close to the Swiss border \u2013 with vineyard covered slopes where wines are primarily made from Chiavennasca grapes (the Valtellina name for Nebbiolo). Around Oltrepo Pavese, meanwhile, it&#8217;s the Pinot Noir grape, which in Lombardy is referred to as Pinot Nero, which stands out the most. Another particularly distinctive wine from this region is the rich, dry, Sforzato wine, made from at least 90 per cent Nebbiolo grapes, which are partially dried before being pressed.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6479\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/07\/WineTasting_iStock_Neyya_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Italy's Wine Regions\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WineTasting_iStock_Neyya_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WineTasting_iStock_Neyya_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WineTasting_iStock_Neyya_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WineTasting_iStock_Neyya_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WineTasting_iStock_Neyya_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/WineTasting_iStock_Neyya_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Veneto<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Within Veneto, it&#8217;s the Valpolicella region that&#8217;s found the most enduring fame in viticulture, and where Amarone della Valpolicella \u2013 officially classified one of Italy&#8217;s top-tier wines \u2013 is made. Much like Sforzato, the grapes are dried before the winemaking process begins to concentrate the sugars in the grapes, resulting in a dry, full-bodied red that goes especially well with meats and cheese. Merlot is another good option for red wine drinkers in Veneto, while those who prefer white wine would do well with a local Soave, made from Garganega grapes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/07\/Grapes_iStock_ah_fotobox_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Italy's Wine Regions\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Grapes_iStock_ah_fotobox_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Grapes_iStock_ah_fotobox_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Grapes_iStock_ah_fotobox_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Grapes_iStock_ah_fotobox_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Grapes_iStock_ah_fotobox_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/Grapes_iStock_ah_fotobox_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tuscany<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In Tuscany, the Chianti wine region garners the most international attention, with the dominant grape, Sangiovese used to produce red wine, and Trebbiano and Vermentino grapes for white wine.
