When it comes to lifestyle in Europe AND around the world, two countries in particular stand out as bright-shining stars in fashion, food, wine, gastronomy, the arts and so on, I’m talking of course about France and Italy. Which cuisine is the best one for you? the French delicate high-end gastronomy, or maybe their Fashion, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, or is it Italy, the pasta, Lasagna, Pizza, Gucci or Versace? Which culture do you like most? When it comes to wine though, does France really make better wine than the Italians? It seems that way perhaps on the surface but is it really true… let’s find out!

I like both French and Italian wines. My favorites wines are selected mostly from specific regions, wineries, and producers. For example, I prefer Gavi, than Pinot Grigo. It is not because Pinot Grigo is bad. I drink Pinot Grigo too. But I agree. What Italians make realy well is to elevate Italian indigenous wines to the world top wine markets, wiithout blending. In contrast, France also has a lot of indigenous wines, but it is hard to find them outside blending. For example, South Rhone wines. It is hard to find a 100% Mourvèdre wine bottles from single vinyard, from South Rhone.
Italians know that you can add or leave a bit of sugar to your wines and make them much more palatable for the general public who do not know much about wine. That said, both countries make excellent wines so there is no need to choose one or the other. I think the most interesting comparison between these two countries is between Bordeaux and Super Tuscan wines where the grape varietals are often similar but the climate, terror and winemaking differs.
