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.

Back in 2020, I wrote about the non-commercial logic behind creating creating subappellations or crus - as some prefer to call them. Now, five years later, the Piedmont region is set to introduce the "Extended Geographical Mention" (Menzione Geografica Allargata, EGM), ensuring that the word Piemonte appears on any wine produced within the region.
While browsing the website of a multi-award-winning UK wine merchant recently, I came across a description of Prosecco that made me stop and reread it several times to make sure I had read it correctly. According to them, Prosecco gets its bubbles from 'injecting CO2.' This is not only incorrect, it’s a basic wine knowledge, and a mistake that no wine merchant should make let alone an award winning one.
Starting from August, unless of a last minute scrap or extension which we are all hoping for, climate change will affect the price of our favourite wine. The duty on wine will be determined by the alcohol content affecting wine produced all over the world especially warmer climates. Any wine with an alcohol content of 11.5% and above will see an increase in duty, increase that will force importers to put prices up
We all know the Moscato or Muscat grape, it is grown everywhere in Italy and the world, used to make different wines. In Italy it is grown from north to south, the most famous Moscato is the Moscato d'Asti, but this one is a quite a spectacular wine
