Looking for quality Italian wine that won’t break the bank? Then look no further than IGT wines. This stands for Indicazione Geografica Typica. These are quality table wines with geographical descriptions, not unlike Vin de Pays from France. Many of the country’s, famous Super Tuscans fall into this category, as producers find the boundaries of DOC and DOCG too restrictive with regard to grape varieties, oak usage and length of time aging. This category, started in 1992, allows for more creativity with lots of experimentation, rendering some pretty darn good wines. So do yourself a favour and check out IGT wines from Italy. You’ll find some real gems. Buona fortuna.
