Thank you.
Answer:
I just discovered Southern Italian wines, have started bartending in an Italian restaurant so this will be fun! The cross reads similar to this: Type of Grape/ Name of Wine/ Region/Year.
A reasonably priced red that taste really good beside or without food- Aglianico/ Alcione/ Puglia/2004.
A more expensive red that is to say also smooth and goes capably with food is Montepulciano/Testa Rossa/Abruzzo/2002.
For whites-
Pinot Grigio/ Valle Isarco/ Alto Adige/2005
Roero Arneis/Luet/Piemonte/2004
Enjoy! I'd suggest looking them up online for order, since these probably will not be readily available within stores.
I close to a good Sangeovese or Chianti for a red and a Pinot Grigio for a white
For red, Tenuta Carretta Barolo "Cannubi" (Piedmont).
I don't like white wine.
My favorite SOUTHERN Italian wines are:
White - Greco di Tufo by Mastroberardino (Campania).
Red - Salice Salentino by Dr. Taurino (Apulia).
They are both excellent!
BTW, Barolo is from the extreme north of Italy.
The biggest problem is that Southern Italy isn't especially as known for their wines as Northern Italy. The Tuscany and Piedmont regions produce some of the best wines contained by the world, but they are decidedly Northern Italy.
"Abruzzo" wines are southern/central Italy. They are on the Eastern side of the boot (Adriatic Sea) directly across from Rome. Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Riparossa (Dino Illuminati) is one of the most well specified.
Some Southern Wineries (South of Naples):
Librandi
D'Angelo (Agilianico del Vulture)
Paternoster
Leone de Castris (Salice Salentino Rosso Riserve Donna Lisa)
Rivera
Cosimo Taurino
Agricole Vallone
Rosa del Golfo
You can also look for Sardinian and Sicilian wines.
Whether or not you can find any of these at a local wine shop is another question.
Good luck and I hope this help.
I agree beside "Eat Fish" a red Italian has get to be a Barolo, isn't cheap but really worth it.
I can recommend some Sicilian wines ...
2002 Benanti Pietramarina - white - almost $45
2005 Ceuso Scurati - red - about $15
2004 Fatascia L'amuleto - red - something like $20
2005 Milazzo Maria Costanza - white - about $21
2005 Planta La Segreta - white blend - roughly speaking $15
2003 Spadafora Sole Dei Padre - red - about $80
2003 Tasca D'Almerita Rosso Del Conte - red - give or take a few $50
Enjoy!
