Marty's, the store with more for less!
The history of wine may have its roots in Ancient Phoenicia and Greece, but Italy's Roman Empire may be more responsible for the spread of viticulture than any other factor. As the Empire spread, the Legions brought the vine with them.
There is no hope of covering the range and breadth of wine available from Italy in this short description. Italy's 20 wine regions closely match the country's 20 political regions. However, there are 333 regulated (DOC and DOCG) regions and 150 "regional wine" areas within these 20 departments. There are 350 official wine grape varieties, plus another 500 unofficial varieties available to the Italian wine maker. Some of the more famous grapes include Sangiovese, Nebbiolo, and Montepulciano for red; Trebbiano, Malvasia, and Pinot Grigio for white; Moscato for sweet.
Color: Dark ruby/purple.
Aroma: A captivating and refined nose with well-integrated aromas of blackberries, violets and roasted coffee beans.

James Suckling
I rate wines using the 100-points scale. I have used this point system for close to 25 years. I still believe it is the simplest way to rate a wine, with its origins from grade school in the United States. A wine that I rate 90 points or more is outstanding (A), and worth buying. If I rate a wine 95 points or more (A+), it is a must buy.
