Best Italian White Wines to Know
Many Italian white wines are much less known than the Italian reds like Chianti, Brunello, Barolo, and Amarone.
In this article we will explore some of the famous and less known Italian white wines.
First of all, how is White Wine Made?
The grapes are harvested and then pressed. Yeast is added to pressed grape juice to start the fermentation process. Once fermentation is finished, fermented juice is left to mature until it becomes wine.
White wine can mature in stainless steel or in oak, steel being more typical to keep the fruity and floral aromas.
