"Italyâs equivalent of Château Yquem, this incarnation of their famous 'Bandito' dessert wine celebrated its tenth birthday last year [in 2017] in Quintarelliâs cellar prior to release. If you want to give something truly special and one of a kind to a wine lover who has it all, look no further. 'Sono nato nel 2007. Sono cresciuto da bandito. E in 5 anni ho raggiunto lâinfinito. 'I was born in 2007. I was raised a bandit. And in 5 years, I reached infinity.' These words are printed on the label of every bottle of the estateâs 'Bandito,' immortalizing the incredible history of the production of the rarest of all Quintarelli wines. During the Second World War, white wine was left aging in barrels that were hidden from the Axis. They were discovered years later, and the resulting wine was sublime. So is this one."

Italy grows more indigenous grape varieties than any other country and produces wine in all 20 of its regions. From Piedmont's Nebbiolo to Tuscany's Sangiovese, its finest wines pair structure and bright acidity with a strong sense of place.
A prolific northern region known for Amarone della Valpolicella, made from dried grapes, as well as Soave and Prosecco. Its finest reds are rich, warming and concentrated.
The world's most versatile white grape, producing everything from steely Chablis to rich, oaked whites. Its neutrality makes it a mirror of terroir and winemaking, and the foundation of white Burgundy and Champagne.
Yields crisp, aromatic whites with citrus, herb and grassy notes. It shines in the Loire, Bordeaux blends and around the world for its refreshing zip.
