Classic Italian red wines include Barolo and Barbaresco (both made from the Nebbiolo grape), Chianti and Chianti Classico (from the Sangiovese grape), and Nero d’Avola wine (the Nero d’Avola grape).  Italy is also famous for its sparkling wines: Prosecco (produced from the grape Glera) and Moscato (from Moscato Bianco) the quality of Prosecco has improved enormously in recent years and of some great wines at great prices. In terms of Italian white wines, the most famous is Pinot Grigio which is made from the grape of the same name.
