Fratelli Alessandria does a great job across its wines, especially when it comes to enhancing the brightness inherent to the various varieties it works with. That extra clarity and focus comes through in the 2021 Langhe Nebbiolo Prinsiòt. This is a versatile red wine with primary fruit that holds tight, earthy spice, velvety tannins and a nice showing of freshness. A bottle like this could pair across a simple pasta or meat dish. Production is 10,000 bottles.

Italy

Italy, renowned for its diverse wine styles, produces wines from a vast range of indigenous grapes, reflecting its varied climates and soils. Notable reds include Barolo and Barbaresco from Piedmont, made from Nebbiolo, and Brunello di Montalcino from Tuscany, crafted from Sangiovese. Chianti Classico, also from Tuscany, is known for its vibrant Sangiovese-based blends, while Veneto's Amarone is a rich, full-bodied wine made from dried grapes. Top producers like Gaja, Antinori, and Marchesi di Barolo exemplify Italy's commitment to quality and tradition in winemaking.
