Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? We have answers!
What makes Italian wine different?
Italian wine is defined by its regional diversity. Each area has its own climate, soil, and grape varieties, resulting in a wide range of styles, from light, crisp whites in the north to bold, structured reds in regions like Tuscany and Piedmont.
How do I choose the right wine?
You can browse by wine type, region, or price. If you are unsure, start with a style you already enjoy:
- Light and fresh → try Pinot Grigio or wines from Veneto
- Bold and full-bodied → explore Tuscany or Piedmont
- Crisp and mineral → look at northern regions
What do DOC, DOCG, and IGT mean?
These are Italian quality classifications:
- DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita): the highest quality level
- DOC: controlled origin with strict production rules
- IGT: more flexible, often allowing for creative or modern styles
How do I store my wine?
Store wine in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature. Ideally, bottles should be kept on their side to keep the cork moist.
Do all wines improve with age?
No. While some wines benefit from ageing, most are made to be enjoyed within a few years.
When will new wines be added?
We continuously expand our collection. New arrivals are added regularly as we discover and source new producers.
