Grapes
Italy grows more native grape varieties than any other country, and most of its great wines are named for a place rather than the grape inside. This guide works the other way round. Each page explains one grape: where it grows, what it tastes like, and which wines are made from it, with links to those wines and their regions. Start with a region or a colour, search for a name you have seen on a label, or browse the full index below.
