Best Italian Wines to Enjoy for National Wine Day
National Wine Day is stomping and sloshing its way fast down the calendar: Have you figured out how you’re celebrating yet?
Perhaps you’re saying to yourself, “But wait—I thought National Wine Day already happened!” We admit it’s a little confusing, but the oenophilic holiday in the rear-view mirror is actually National Drink Wine Day, which went down on February 18th. National Wine Day is its own thing, and takes place on May 25th.
For dutifully marking this highly important holiday in Las Vegas, we invite you to join us here at Mercato Della Pescheria, where we’ve got the sort of high-caliber, far-reaching wine cellar you need given the occasion.
Italian Wine: A Snapshot
The Greeks brought wine grapes to Sicily in approximately 800 B.C., and viticulture primarily was restricted to Southern Italy until the Romans transformed and expanded the industry. Roman winemakers figured out, for example, how to age vino without resulting in vinegar—an important leap forward, to say the least.
After a kind of post-Roman Empire doldrums period, Italian winemaking flowered forth once again during the Renaissance with Tuscany its nerve center. Today, the “Boot” ranks as the globe’s biggest producer of wine, and Italians are the fifth-heartiest consumers of the stuff.
Wine Appreciation at Mercato Della Pescheria
Take a gander at the wine list here at Mercato Della Pescheria, and you’ll see we have an exquisite lineup of Italian wines available for your epicurean pleasure, from Amarone and Barbaresco to Barolo and Super Tuscan. These hail from a range of the country’s noble wine-producing regions, including Toscana, Piemonte, Veneto, and Abruzzo. Your Mercato Della Pescheria server will be able to give you a crash course in your options and select the perfect vintage for your palate.
While we’re proud of our selection of Italian wine—an absolute given from our perspective, given our menu of fine Italian cuisine—we certainly don’t turn a blind eye to the world’s other great viticultural centers. You’ll also find fabulous wines from France, Spain, California, and Argentina among our offerings, for example.
