Quarantine “no hassle” Italian wines online shopping list

Northern Italy and sparkling wines edition

We can use this time of self isolation and quarantine to explore new wine regions: online sales are skyrocketing in these days, so I scanned the web for what it is left to buy in terms of good value for money Italian wines. I put together this “no hassle” selection of Northern Italian wines with the following criteria and reasons:

  1. Italy is the most afflicted wine country in the world by the pandemic of the Coronavirus and buying Italian wines is an excellent way to help the producers in these tragic weeks.
  2. This is the first of 3 lists, it is  dedicated to Northern Italy and sparkling wines, but I am working on Central Italy and Southern Italy as well.
  3. I selected wines from a single website, in this case WINE.COM,  because it’s easier to buy more wines from the same retailer and have a discount on shipping costs. wine.com also offers a yearly subscription at 49.00 USD to wave all the shipping costs year-round. And last but not least: they ship almost everywhere in the U.S..
  4. Wine.com is a local business: California is in lockdown and I like the idea to help a Californian business to keep up and generate wellness for the people of this State which is my home away from home.
  5. In selecting the wines from this website I considered pros: the value for money, the quality and credibility of the producer, the production practices and the use of native, indigenous varieties.
  6. Disclaimer: I am not sponsored by wine.com or  by any of these wineries.
  7. Disclaimer 2: these are not my absolute favorite wines, it is just a selection of the best of what available and in stock online in these days.
