Italy | Italian Natural Wine
Natural wine seems like a recent development in Italy as it emerges in popularity, but the general consensus among Italy’s natural wine producers is that it is not something new - instead, it is the return to traditional winemaking, the way wine was made before it was heavily industrialised.
Popular natural wine producers include Cantina Giardino, Frano Terpin, Radikon, Frank Cornelissen, Occhipinti, Le Coste and many more.

Diverse terroir, grape varieties & wine styles
In northwestern Piedmont (bordering France and Switzerland), Barbera is the most planted grape variety, though cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape produces two of the most well-known Italian wines, Barolo and Barbaresco. In the northeast, the Friuli region is known for some of the finest orange wines in the world - among them Radikon.
Sicily, Italy’s most southern region, is known for aromatic and juicy grape varieties such as Nerrello Mascalese, Nero d’Avola, Grillo, and Zibbibo. Due to ample hills and mountains on the island (including Mount Etna), Sicilian wine has a freshness and elegance that sets it apart from other southern warm-climate wines. Until recently, Sicilian wine was a write-off seen only for bulk wine exports used for blending in France and Spain - now their terroir and focus on quality is really paying off and wines can command a much higher price than 30 years ago.
