Is there anything Italy can't do?
Apart from the idea of stable government, Italy seems to outdo pretty much everyone else at pretty much everything, especially when it comes to food and drink – the food, the wine, the whole atmosphere of Italy is all about relaxation, pleasure and hospitality.
Sure, France might have its fussy restaurants selling fussy wines at decidedly fussy prices, and the US might have its large helpings and big wines, but Italy's all-round excellence – certainly in terms of food and wine – has been legendary since Roman times.
Italy has been enjoying a resurgence in popularity among consumers in recent years, with the big three – Barolo, Brunello and Amarone – doing a lot of the heavy lifting. However, one of the great things about Italy is the bewildering variety of styles and grapes available, and those less-famous regions have been emerging into the spotlight to bolster the big names of the north.
As well as its top-end wines, Italy is also famous for it's more cheap-and-cheerful offerings, like Moscato, Prosecco, Chianti and millions of gallons of Pinot Grigio, so it's unsurprising that somewhere in the middle is a fertile strip where the value wines flourish.
And flourish they do, as we can see when we peruse the list below, but first let's get the housekeeping out of the way.
For this series of "best value" stories, we work with a more direct point-to-dollar ratio for a simplified "bang for buck" scale than our standard algorithm for suggesting the best value wines. Simply dividing the score by the price gives a value factor and the higher the factor the better the value – a kind of points-per-dollar scale. The higher the value factor, the more points per dollar.
Usually, when we run our superlative lists, we don't take vintage into account, but since vintage variation affects the score so much, we concentrate on individual vintages of wines for our best-value lists.
Best Value Italian Wines on Wine-Searcher:What's immediately apparent is the sheer variety on the list. As well as wines from well-known areas like Barbaresco and Chianti Classico, there is a Sardinian wine, a sparkling wine from Franciacorta, a dessert wine from the southern Mediterranean island of Pantelleria, and even a "Super Tuscan". Compare that to the Bordeaux and German lists, where eight of the wines on each list were from Sauternes and Mosel, respectively.
Another thing to consider is the level of value on offer on this list. The top wine has an aggregated critic score of 93 and an average price of just $20. Of the rest, three have scores of 93 and six have scores of 94 – now that's quality and the most expensive bottle on the list – the Donnafugata Passito – comes in at an average price of $64. Overall, the "average" wine on this list has an average aggregated score of 93.5 and an average price of just $44.
No wonder everyone loves Italy.
