Italian wine is one of the most difficult regions to get to know due to all the different grape varieties.
There are 3 major regions that produce the most high quality drinking wines and they are: Piedmont, Veneto and Tuscany.
PIEDMONT
Michele Taliano Winery
The farm taliano michele is located at montà, in the land of roero. It has vineyards not only in roero, but also in the zone of barbaresco, precisely at san rocco seno d’elvio (alba). This estate was born in 1930 with Domenico Taliano, but its roots are deeper.

TUSCAN
Antinori Chianti Classico
The Antinori family has been in the wine business since 1385, but don’t be fooled by the long history – here you won’t find dusty archives but an active and prolific wine empire which boasts two of Italy’s top wines: Solaia and Tignanello
Built entirely with locally sourced materials, respectful of the surrounding environment and preserving with great care the Tuscan landscape, it’s a milestone in the history of the Marchesi Antinori company and it took seven years to complete.
Today the winery has opened its doors to wine enthusiasts, allowing them to come into direct contact with their expert winemakers.
