Professional Ratings

  • 92
    Concentrated sensations of apple, pear, lemon, mint and mineral are accented with rosemary, sage and intense smoky notes. It's structured but elegant with a great depth of flavors. This is already delicious but will develop more complexity. Drink now through 2020.Editors' Choice

Villa Raiano  Winery Image

Established in 1996 Villa Raiano was founded by Sabino and Simone Basso along with their brother in law Paolo Sibillo. Nestled in a lush landscape of chestnut forests and vineyards the winery overlooks the valley where the Sabato river runs just outside of Avellino. With emphasis on the historical vines of their land, Greco, Fiano, Falanghina and Aglianico, they adopt organic production practices and let their land speak through the wine.

Italian White Wine

The rolling hills and endless coastlines of Italy deliver a unique diversity of soils and climate to foster a number of regional specialties. With a multitude of indigenous varieties that thrive exclusively here, the selection of white wines offers a range of styles and flavors.

The most well-known white variety in Italy is of course Pinot Grigio. Typically found in the northern Italian regions, the light, fresh and easy-drinking options can be found in the Veneto region, while the richer, more complex styles come from Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Trentino-Alto Adige. These two northeast regions are also crafting delicions Pinot Bianco and a regional specialty, Friulano.

In Piedmont, two white regions shine. The crisp and zippy Gavi, made with a Cortese grape, and Arneis, a variety that produces a subtle by dry wine. In the Veneto, the Garganegna grape creates the wine of Soave, a zesty but medium-bodied wine full of rich stone fruit and floral notes.

Further south, you'll find the pretty and floral Falenghina, rich and tropical Grillo and zesty Greco. Head to Sicily to discover the delicious and complex Etna Biancos, made with the Carricante grape in the island's volcanic soils.

If you enjoy a tangy but textured white wine with seafood, head to Sardinia and try out the Vermentino there. The grape is also found in other Italian provinces and is always a delight.
