The Italian Abroad Wine Blog

The Italian Abroad Wine Blog is a wine blog and diary where I share my thoughts, primarily about Italian wine and food, but also on wine, food, and travel in general. I founded Italyabroad.com in 2003 and have been living abroad for over 20 years. Coming from an Italian winemaking family, I was introduced to wine at a very early age. While my roots are in Italian wine, I appreciate and enjoy good wine from all over the world, alongside great food and the joys of travel. My posts often weave these passions together.

To help you better understand Italian wines, we've created a series of Italian wine regions maps that show DOC and DOCG wines, their origins and the grapes they are made of, including your favorite Italian wines. I’ve also written a post on the Italian wine appellation system explaining and demystifying the Italian wine classification system and what it really means for wine lovers and enthusiasts.

Additionally, I host a YouTube channel , where you can watch me taste some of our wines and answer your questions about Italian wines and grapes. From the meaning of DOC to what makes an orange wine, we cover it all. I hope you enjoy reading this wine blog! Feel free to reach out with any questions. Salute Andrea

The Pinot grigio delle Venezie appellation includes good wine as well, but they are more on the easy drinking side, simpler wines. Pinot grigio grapes grown at altitude give the wine a lot more. We really love both wines and we apologise if it took us that long to finally add a Pinot grigio, but we can say it was worth the wait and hope that now that we finally stock Pinot Grigio, you will enjoy them as much as we do

Buttafuoco and Oltrepo’ Pavese

October 28, 2019    Tags: View Comments (0)

I have been tasting and drinking Italian wines for over 20 years and I thought I had seen everything, yes there are plenty of producers I never heard of, new wineries being launched almost on a daily basis, but when I saw a poster with a bottle of wine saying “Buttafuoco”, spit fire in Italian, it really took me a few seconds to understand what the poster was about
