Serve at the Right Temperature: Pour Italian red slightly below room temperature to highlight bright Sangiovese and Nebbiolo acidity while balancing bold Southern Italian fruit character.
Use the Proper Wine Glass: Choose a large bordeaux glass for Barolo and Amarone, a standard red wine glass for Chianti, or a burgundy glass for lighter Italian reds.
Let It Breathe Before Drinking: Let Italian red breathe 20–45 minutes to soften tannins and reveal complex flavors.
Sip and Explore the Diversity: Take small sips to taste cherry and herb notes, appreciate varying body and tannins, and enjoy Italy’s food-friendly, terroir-driven regional character.
