Italian wine is number 1 – Italian Cuisine

The charts of the 100 best wines in the world have just been released for the 2018 of two critical industry bibles, the American (and very powerful for sales) "Wine Spectator" and "Wine Enthusiast".
In both lists, to win the top of the ranking is an Italian wine. The news is exceptional, marks an important point for our production and is destined to do a great good to the entire national wine industry.

Wine Spectator dixit

For "Wine Spectator", the best wine in the world, considering quality, availability and value for money, is the Bolgheri Sassicaia 2015 of Tenuta San Guido. A result, for the red symbol of the marquises Incisa della Rocchetta, which does not surprise so much, being among the most famous Italian wines in the world. Among other things, the excellent vintage 2015 had already earned a vote of 100/100 on the Essential Guide to Italian wines 2019 by Daniele Cernilli.

The Wine Enthusiast podium

For "Wine Enthusiast", less mainstream, the best wine is, instead, a Barbera, the Nizza Cipressi 2015 by Michele Chiarlo.
But the good news does not end here. Because, scrolling through the lists, it turns out that they are studded with other excellent names of wine made in Italy.

All Italians among the best

Wine Spectator, already in third place, places the Chianti Classico Riserva 2015 of Castello di Volpaia. Still in the top ten, we find theEtna San Lorenzo 2016 of Tenuta delle Terre Nere (9th position), which testifies how the Sicilian territory of Etna is now considered one of the largest in the world. This is followed by the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva 2013 of Carpineto (11th position), Barbaresco Rabajà Riserva 2013 by Produttori del Barbaresco (13th), Brunello di Montalcino 2013 by Canalicchio di Sopra (15th), Brunello di Montalcino 2013 by Caparzo (17th), the Chianti Classico 2016 of San Felice (19th), the Tignanello 2015 of Antinori (24th), the Slatnik S Label 2015 of Radikon (51st), the Undicicomuni Arnaldo Riserva 2013 of Terre di Barolo (54 °), the Chianti Classico Vigna del Sorbo Grand Selection 2015 of Fontodi (60 °), the Pinot Grigio 2017 of Tiefenbrunner (67 °), the Soave Classico Otto 2017 of Prà (73 °), the Trebbiolo 2014 of La Stoppa (76 °), the 2017 Citrone by Librandi (81 °), the Barolo 2014 by Paolo Scavino (88 °), the Montefalco Sagrantino Colle at Macchie 2013 by Tabarrini (96 °) and the Lambrusco di Sorbara of the Founder 2016 by Cleto Chiarli and Sons (99 °).
So, a total of 18 wines, almost a fifth of the ranking, with a clear predominance of Tuscan labels, seven, and an absolute preference for our red wines, with 14 mentions.

Also the ranking of "Wine Enthusiast" gives us an exciting photo of the Italian wine. After the Nice Cipressi 2015 by Michele Chiarlo, in eighth place, we find the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Dosaggio Zero Classic Method 2015 of Cà dei Zago, while outside the top ten, the Etneo Contrada R 2016 of Passopisciaro (18th) is placed, Lambrusco di Sorbara L'Eclisse 2017 by Paltrinieri (20th), Etna Rosso Outis 2016 by Biondi (23 °), Valtellina Superiore Sassella Reserve Rocce Rosse 2007 by Arpepe (26 °), Chianti Classico Gran Selezione San Lorenzo 2013 of Castello di Ama (31st), Brunello di Montalcino 2013 of Castelgiocondo (35th), Barolo Monvigliero 2014 by GB Burlotto (39th), Friulano 2016 by Russiz Superiore (42th), Franciacorta Dosaggio Zero Vintage Collection 2013 by Ca 'del Bosco (47th), Passito di Pantelleria Ben Ryè 2015 by Donnafugata (68th), Abruzzo Pecorino Don Carlino 2016 by De Fermo (72nd), Vernaccia di San Gimignano 2016 by La Lastra (76th), the Palazzo della Torre 2016 by Allegrini (78th), the Bramaterra Cascina Cott Ignano 2014 by Colombera & Garella (82nd) and the Morellino di Scansano 2016 by Terenzi (94th).
In this case, a total of 17 wines, with a geographical prevalence less clear than Wine Spectator: the ranking is always led by Tuscany, with four wines, but is followed closely by Sicily and Piedmont, both with three wines mentioned.
