Whether you drink alcohol regularly or not, wine is a great option for casual and party drinking. It is usually fairly mild and comes in all varieties of strengths and tastes that will appeal to you no matter what kind of preferences you have. Italian Wines are some of the most popular out there, and oftentimes they make great entertainment at dinner parties. Here are a few ways to narrow down your selections and choose a great wine for your next party.
Sweet and Fruity
Fairly common in white wines, sweet and fruity is a great and casual combination that tends to appeal to the largest crowd. With these wines, the alcohol content is much lower than average wine and offers a much smoother and sweeter taste. They are generally low in acidity, low in oakiness and not as full bodied as other wines. Some great options for these are Asti, Gavi, and Soave.
Crisp and Dry
If you are looking for Italian Wines that pack a little more punch but still maintain a smooth taste, look for crisp and dry. These can also be found in mainly white wines, but some red wines offer these options as well. Great options for this level would be Verdiccio, Pinot Grigio, or Chianti.
Bold and Ripe
If you are looking for a much stronger or more daring taste when it comes to wine you want to find something bold and ripe. Aged wines are great for high alcohol and a very strong taste. Find something that is labeled as full-bodied or robust to achieve the right taste. Great options for these might include Salice Salintino or Amarone and pair best with robust cheeses and other foods.
As you can see, there are so many different options when it comes to purchasing and drinking different wines. Italy has so much variety. Whether you want white or red, sweet or bitter, dry or fruity, there is likely a great option for you. If you are going to be hosting a dinner party anytime soon, consider these various options and select a great wine for your entertainment.
