Join me as I learn a little about wines. This list of Italian wines are widely distributed in America.
Barolo:  A dry, ruby-red, full-bodied wine with a
smooth, velvety taste.  It is produced in
Piedmont.
Barbera:  A delicate dry or semi-sweet wine whose
bouquet improves with age.  Also produced
in Piedmont.
Bardolino:  A clear, light, ruddy wine, with a pleasingly
dry taste.  It should be drank while
still young.  Made in Venetia.
Valpolicella: 
An excellent, deep ruby-colored wine with a delicate bouquet and mellow taste.  Wonderful
with any kind of meat dish.  A Venetian
wine.
Chianti:  Probably the best known of Italian reds, this
Tuscan wine has a slightly prickly taste when young which disappears as the
wine ages.
Brolio:  Very much like Chianti, it is grown in the
same neighborhood in Tuscany.  Like
chianti, also, it improves with age.
Ciro
di Cababria: 
A deep, ruby-red wine which should be allowed to mature to develope its
full flavor.
Faro:  A Sicilian wine of a bright ruby color with
an excellent bouquet and flavor.
