🍷 Wine Map of Italy – De Long
The Definitive Guide to Italian Wine Regions | DOC, DOCG & IGP Coverage | Premium Finishes | Two Sizes Available
No country in the world—not even France—can rival Italy’s extraordinary breadth of wine styles, grape varieties, and terroirs. Wine is part of Italy’s DNA, intertwined with its people, cuisine, and landscapes. Across its twenty diverse regions, from the snow-dusted Alps of the north to the sunlit vineyards of Sicily, wine has been cultivated for millennia. So vital was its role that the ancient Greeks named their Italian colonies Oenotria—the land of wine.
First published in 2011 as the first modern, comprehensive map of Italy’s wine regions, the Wine Map of Italy by De Long has been continually updated to reflect the most current classifications and boundaries. It is now widely recognised as the essential reference for enthusiasts, sommeliers, educators, and travellers alike.
Beautifully designed and meticulously researched, this map is as much a work of cartographic art as it is a practical tool.
