The best Italian white wines? The New York Times has selected 10, all under 25 euros, sold on the US market (and not only).
In sparse order, the list drawn up by the wine critic of the magazine Eric Asimov sees bottles from all over the peninsula, from Sicily to South Tyrol, passing through Umbria and Abruzzo.
The wine industry is also undergoing the impact of the coronavirus, and with the cancellation of Vinitaly 2020 part of the promotion of the products of our territory will cease for this year.
Fortunately, the sector has broad shoulders to survive even this crisis and will try to get back up as soon as possible.

The Italian white wine market
The coronavirus epidemic has also brought the wine industry to its knees in recent months. Still, the value and success of Made in Italy abroad seem to have not been affected. To confirm this, the article published by the New York Times which lists the Top 10 of Italian whites under 25 euros also sold in the United States.
And it was time for someone overseas to realize that there is also something other than Prosecco and Pinot Gris. The belief outside Italy, and especially in the States, is that our country mainly produces red wine.
In fact, in 2018, 57% of the entire production concerned white, as revealed by Italian Wine Central, which provides information and statistics on this sector. The prejudice of the important link between our peninsula and the red is historically founded, but for years it has been pressing the accelerator in the other direction as well.
