Italian Red Blends
Canadians love Italian wine - last year, we imported roughly $607 million of it into the country. Italy has been famous for its red wines for hundreds of years, and it was easy to see why during this year’s tastings, as there were many outstanding examples. The 2025 entries came from Tuscany (mostly Chianti Classico) and the Veneto (primarily Valpolicella.) It would be nice to see entries from other parts of the country in next year’s competition.
