Piedmont grows Nebbiolo (whose autumn-fog namesake shapes Barolo and Barbaresco), Moscato blanc (for Moscato d'Asti) and the 15th-century white grape Arneis. Marche's native Pecorino grape features in Falerio dei Colli Ascolani DOC wines. Which national wine tradition includes both of these regions?

Question

Accepted Answer

Italian wine. Italian wine dates back to the Etruscans and, at more than 60 million hectoliters a year, competes with France for the title of world's largest producer. The DOCG and DOC designations, introduced in the 1960s, formalised the country's rich patchwork of regional grapes and styles.
