All over Italy, from the southernmost point of Sicily to the northernmost area of Alto Adige, you can find fantastic wine deals. With a range from recognizable regions and grapes such as Tuscan Sangiovese to less familiar territories and varieties like the Gaglioppo grape from Calabria, there is so much to discover. To aid in this exploration, we present 16 bottles that simply can't be missed.

Sella & Mosca, established in 1899 by two explorers from Piedmont, is an internationally recognised Sardinian winery. Their wine showcases the island's signature white grape remarkably well, presenting floral and citrusy notes that pair spectacularly with any sea food.

In Sicily, it would be a rare seafood eatery that doesn't have this standard white wine with a citrus undertone on its menu. This blend, expertly crafted by the Tasca d’Almerita family for over 60 vintages now, contains Inzolia, Catarratto, and Grecanico, with a hint of Chardonnay.

The effervescent Pinot Grigio, infused with the delightful notes of nectarine and melon, is a creation of restaurateurs Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson. Using fruit from both Friuli’s Grave region and the hillside "ponca" soils in the Colli Orientali district, they've crafted a winner.

The Vernaccia grape has been cultivated in the Tuscan town of San Gimignano since the 1200s, and this classic version delivers an appealingly stern flavor, a stony edge to its brisk green-apple and pear notes.

Le Monde's Pinot Grigio truly delivers with its surprising intensity and fair price. The hints of jasmine blooms, melon, and white peach perfectly signify the Grave area of Friuli from where it originates. Showing a commitment to sustainability, Le Monde derives 70% of its energy from solar cells.

Pala, a winery in Sardinia, adds a creamy richness to the brisk acidity and citrus flavors of Vermentino. It suggests bites of peaches and a spritz of lime, the flavors lasting and lingering, a remarkable match for any firm white fish.

Tuscan red wines from the Neil Empson collection including Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon are both remarkably accessible and profoundly affordable, offering juicy red-fruit flavour in abundance.

Wines from Molise region deliver a rustic flavor that perfectly accompanies traditional Italian stews like osso buco. The strong undertones of cherry liqueur and aromatic herbs create a charming aroma characteristic of this area.

Cirò Rosso wines from Calabria, created from the Gaglioppo grape, exude peppery herbal and ripe strawberry-cranberry notes, making them ideal companions for early fall grilling.

From the Moroccan coast, your local pizzeria should include this reasonably priced steal of a red wine with intense blackberry–black cherry flavors, a testament to the late Gianni Masciarelli’s belief in Abruzzo's wine-making potential.

Affordably-priced elegant wines do exist, and this blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Canaiolo, boasting of dark berry and currant flavors, is proof. It hails from a Tuscan estate that has a rich history dating back to Etruscan times.

Morellino di Scansano from the coastal Maremma region of Tuscany, with its delightful notes of dried Mediterranean herbs, rose petals, and bright cherry fruit, is a fine representation of Tuscan Sangiovese.

Chianti Rufina, situated northeast of Florence and often overshadowed by Chianti Classico, boasts some of the finest but affordably priced wines. The fresh raspberry and light cola notes of this supple red wine are a testament to this.

Finally, a rare find - a high-quality Super-Tuscan for a not so super price -- this full-bodied blend of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon tingles the senses with its rich black-cherry and currant flavors, all of which linger on a woodsy cedar note.
