The guide to the Best Wines of Italy, curated by Massimo Claudio Comparini, Michele Longo, Marco Contini, Nello D’Angelo, and Angelo Sabbadin, has, since its inception, aimed to provide an overview of Italian wine excellence, recommending both prestigious labels and wines from emerging wineries, appreciable without necessarily spending a lot.
The 2015 guide to the Best Wines of Italy is based on a selection from 10,000 Italian labels, blind-tasted by industry experts, who determine the best wines of the year with scores of 90/100 points or higher. These wines come from the North, Central, and Southern Italy, including the islands. As has long been adopted by leading international publications, the methodology used in the 2015 guide to the Best Wines of Italy assigns a score on a 100-point scale. Specifically, wines scoring between 95 and 100 are considered of absolute quality, while those scoring between 90 and 94 are regarded as excellent and of very high quality.
The Salento winery Varvaglione Vigne & Vini has the honor of being included in this prestigious selection with its wine “Papale Linea Oro-Primitivo di Manduria DOP 2011.”
Only five labels were chosen to represent the Apulia region in the macro-area of wines from Southern Italy and the Islands. Among them, the “Papale Linea Oro-Primitivo di Manduria DOP 2011,” one of the flagship wines of the Taranto-based winery Varvaglione Vigne & Vini, received 93/100, the highest score awarded overall among the five selected Apulian wineries.
The 2015 Guide to the Best Wines of Italy is available exclusively online. In fact, for a few days now, the guide has been accessible at the following link Ebook Migliori Vini d’Italia and in various ebook stores.
