A tasting project by Jeremy Young
I'm tasting at least one wine from every DOC and DOCG in Italy.
That's 411 appellations, 79 of them DOCG. Each one gets a written review and a score out of 100. Most have never had an English-language write-up. This page tracks where I am, and where I need help.
2% done. 63 bottles reviewed so far. 0 appellations with a bottle in hand, 403 still to find.
The top tier, tracked on its own.

From the articles
Longer than a review. Some come from our trips to Italy, and some from our kitchen at home with a bottle open.
The first year
Founding Producers
Every producer who sends a bottle by 31 December 2027 goes on this wall for good. The first strips are still blank.
The hard ones
Help me find these
These appellations have almost no US distribution. If you make one, import one, or know who does, I want to hear from you.
