What are the best labels produced in our country? The Bibenda 2025 guide reveals it with 10 excellent wines on a journey to discover taste from north to south
Italy is a territory suited to wine and the role that the country has in global production and exports confirms this. It is no coincidence that when it comes to tasting, analyzing or gifting quality wine there is a vast choice.
The impressive number of grape varieties grown in the Italian regions can make it indeed difficult to decree excellence of the year, but the Bibenda 2025 guide comes to our aid by selecting the 10 best Italian wines.
Developed since 2014 by the Italian Sommelier Foundation (Fis) and now in its twenty-seventh edition, the guide highlights the best labels year after year. The criteria go beyond the evaluation methods used by Fis training. The result is a combination of unforgettable sensations, to be savored in the glass.
