The Italy we know has been cultivating vino for more than 4,000 years. Its wine-making tradition dates back
to the Greeks and Etruscans, and the Romans later created a profitable wine business throughout the Mediterranean
and beyond. Because Italy wasn't politically unified within its present borders until the mid-1800s, a dazzling
spectrum of languages, climates, and cultures creates the world's most diverse selection of wines. In addition,
the country is divided into 20 different regions - each producing vintages exported to fine shops worldwide, as
well exclusive brands only sold locally. Many of these splendid wines can be sampled at ENO.
Some of Italy's most illustrious wine-producing locales include:
-
Friuli-Venezia Giulia - Located in the northeast corner of Italy, this area is celebrated for its
outstanding dry wines such as Pinot Grigio, Pino Bianco, and Chardonnay. The region also produces splendid
reds like Merlot and Cabernet.
-
Piedmont - Bordering France and Switzerland, Piedmont's most notable grape is the Nebbiolo, which is
instrumental in creating Barolo and Bararesco, the region's premier wines.
- Tuscany - Boasting perhaps Italy's oldest wine-making tradition, Tuscany is home to the world-famous Chianti.
- Veneto - One of Italy's largest wine-producing regions, particularly Soave, Valpolicella, Bardolino, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, and Cabernet.
Being an enophile is more than appreciating great wine - it's a lifestyle. At ENO, we celebrate good taste with a
world-class array of international wines, cheese, and chocolates. Attracting both novices and aficionados, ENO is a
casual, educational, and most important, fun tasting experience.
