Rioja, Spain: not exactly the most obscure wine region on the planet when it comes to producing gorgeous, internationally recognized wine. In fact, it was just a few days ago, on October 30th, 2025, that James Suckling announced the Top 100 Most Prestigious Wines of Spain. After evaluating 3,500 wines this past year, Rioja was crowned the best wine region in Spain for the third year in a row.
Tucked into Italy’s far northeastern corner, where the Alps tumble down toward the Adriatic and the borders of Austria and Slovenia blur, lies a region that quietly produces some of the country’s most elegant and expressive wines, Friuli-Venezia Giulia. It’s a place of contrasts: mountains and sea, Italian warmth and Central European precision, centuries-old tradition and cutting-edge experimentation. For generations, this cultural crossroads has been a meeting ground for empires, merchants, and migrants, and today, for wine lovers seeking something both authentic and quietly extraordinary.
