Wine Press - How To Read An Italian Wine Label

This week, I thought I would keep the ball rolling by focusing on Italian wines.
Like France, many winemakers in Italy sure don’t make it easy to understand what type of wine is in the bottle.
Often, there’s nothing on the label about what types of grapes were used to make Italian wines.
Instead, like many French winemakers, Italian labels have more to do with where the wine comes from rather than information about the grapes. Then again, sometimes not.
To be honest, I am still sometimes confused by certain wine labels from Italy. That might be because there seems to be so many tiny subregions within regions in Italy.
