North Central/Northeast
Perhaps the largest volume of imported Italian wine comes from this region, mostly in the form of Soave, Bardolino, Valpolicella and Lambrusco. Many of these are pleasant but not inspiring. However the great Amarones also originate here.

Tuscany
The wines of Tuscany have come a long way from the all-purpose Chianti in a basket pizza pour. Now, some of Italy’s most sophisticated wines come from this region. Many of them rank among the world’s most sought after bottles. Great Brunellos, Chianti Riservas and "Super Tuscans" abound
