Italian Wines 2026

<p><strong><em>Italian Wines</em></strong> is the English-language version of <em>Gambero Rosso's Vini d'Italia</em>, the world's best-selling guide to Italian wine, now in its 39^th edition. It is the result of a year's work by over 60 tasters, coordinated by three curators. They travel around the entire country to taste 45,000 wines, only half of which make it into the guide. More than 2,500 producers are selected. Each entry brings together useful information about a winery, including a description of its most important labels and price levels in Italian wine shops. Each wine is evaluated according to the Gambero Rosso <em>bicchieri</em> rating, with <em>Tre Bicchieri</em> awarded to the top labels. The guide is an essential tool for both wine professionals and passionate amateurs around the globe: it provides the instruments for finding one's way in the complex panorama of Italy's wine world. </p>
