Excellent red table wine made from the Nebbiolo grape in the Piemonte of Northwestern Italy : .

Dry white wine from the ancient town of the same name in Umbria, Italy, between Rome and Florence. : .

Lightweight but refreshing red wine from the Veneto of Northeastern Italy. As Recioto della , a thoroughly different wine, powerful and robust, may be sweet or dry (Amarone). :

The classic dry red wine of Tuscany, made from Sangiovese and other grapes near Florence in North Central Italy. Once dismissed as "pizza wine" and served in fiaschi bottles, it's now more respected as a serious table wine, and has given rise in turn to pricey "Super Tuscan" wines incorporating Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and other non-traditional blends. When it is Classico Riserva it spends additional time aging in oak barrels. :

Spanish, literally "fragrant." One of the two broad categories of Sherry, the other being Fino (above). Olorosos are typically dark and full-bodied, in contrast with the light Fino; most are made sweet, but dry (like the Emilio Lustau Don Nuño) can be a revelation.

Good Spanish wine district near Barcelona. Dominated by the Torres winery :

Portuguese island in the Atlantic off the North African coast, producing an unusual fortified wine of the same name. :
