Winemaking is an important industry in Italy, and the Italians are at or near the top of the world ranks in both the production and consumption of wine.

Probably the most common grape variety used in the production of red wine in Italy is sangiovese. Wine produced by this grape variety is characterized by a taste that resembles cherry. Chianti, Rossi di Montepulciano, and Montefalco Rosso are all Italian red wines produced from the sangiovese grape. The sangiovese grape is most widely cultivated in the Tuscany region of Italy.

The wines of Veneto are usually produced by the corvina grape variety. The wines produced from this grape variety have a high alcohol content and a taste that resembles prunes and raisins. The grape varieties mentioned above are most widely cultivated in Italy; other grape varieties that are also cultivated throughout the world include syrah, merlot, cabernet franc, and cabernet sauvignon. Italian red wines are widely available throughout the United Kingdom, and can be purchased at price points as low as less than 10 pounds.  Get a great deal on a lovely Italian red wine for your wedding today by buying your wedding wine on a sale or return basis!
