Chris BerryFounder, Wine Underdogs — chasing the world’s overlooked grapesItaly's national vine register lists 640 wine grapes. We flag 81 of them as imported, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Xinomavro, and 30 as modern crosses bred in Italy. That leaves 529 we have not flagged, and every one of the 640 is searchable below by name, colour and region.
That last number is not the number of Italian grapes, and it would be easy to let you think it was. Forty-eight entries on the register list another registered name as a synonym. Cannonau, Alicante and Tocai Rosso are filed three times over and cross-referenced to one another as the same vine. Garganega and Grecanico Dorato point at each other. The register is a legal list of what may be propagated and sold as planting material, not a census of distinct grapes, so the true count of Italian varieties sits somewhere below 529, and the register does not say where.
The two grapes cleared everywhere
Here is the line we did not expect. The register classes each variety, province by province, as suitable for cultivation. Only two grapes are cleared in all twenty of Italy's regions: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Pinot Bianco and Sauvignon reach nineteen. Sangiovese and Barbera, the grapes most people would name if you asked them for something Italian, reach seventeen.
Nobody is obliged to plant what they are allowed to plant, so this is a map of permission, not of vineyards. It is still a fair picture of where the defaults come from.
Where the grapes that belong nowhere else live
Count the Italian varieties cleared in only one region and Sardinia wins by a distance: 46 grapes classed there and nowhere else, against 29 each for Piedmont and Veneto. Nieddera, Cagnulari, Bovale and Nuragus are among them, classed on the island and nowhere else.

How to read the list
Each grape below is shown under the name the register uses, with its colour as the register records it. Imported marks a grape whose home is outside Italy. Modern Italian cross marks a variety bred in Italy in the last hundred years and named as such, an Incrocio Manzoni or one of the disease-resistant vines released by the University of Udine. Those two flags are ours, not the register's: the register records no origin at all. Everything we have not flagged is shown as Italian, which is not a claim that each one is ancient or that its origin is settled.
The regions are the ones the register's own map classes as suitable for cultivation, with "under observation" noted where a region is still trialling the vine.
One honest warning about that map. A blank does not mean a grape is grown nowhere. The register's site shows no regional classification at all for 140 of the Italian entries. About half were added in 2018 or later and may simply not have been classified yet, but some are old and well known: Aleatico, registered in 1970 and the grape behind sweet reds in Lazio and Puglia, shows nothing. Treat a blank as a gap in the record, not as a fact about the vineyard.
Names in red link to our own deep dives. Forty of our articles cover grapes on this list. Set that against 529 unflagged names and you have an exact measure of how much of Italy this site has covered so far.

Why this is one page and not 529
We could have built a page for every name on that list by the end of the week, and most of them would have said almost nothing, because for most of these grapes almost nothing is published in English and no bottle is for sale in the United States. A page that says nothing is worse for you than no page at all.
So the rule here is the one that already governs the rest of the site. A grape gets its own page when it gets its own article: when there is a bottle you can actually buy, a producer willing to talk, or a reader who wants to know. Until then it lives here, on the register, searchable and dated.
If there is a name on this list you want us to chase next, reply to the newsletter and tell us which one.

Frequently asked questions
How many wine grape varieties does Italy have?
Italy's national vine register, the Registro Nazionale delle Varietà di Vite, listed 640 wine grape varieties when we read it in full on 14 October 2026. We flag 81 of them as imported from other countries and 30 as modern crosses bred in Italy. The remaining 529 include many names the register itself lists as synonyms of one another, so the number of distinct Italian grapes is lower, and the register does not say by how much.
Which Italian region has the most grapes of its own?
Sardinia. On the register's regional classification, 46 Italian varieties are cleared for cultivation in Sardinia and in no other region, more than anywhere else. Piedmont and Veneto come next with 29 each.
Is Nero d'Avola on Italy's vine register?
Yes, under its official name, Calabrese N., with Nero d'Avola listed as a synonym. Several familiar grapes are registered under names drinkers rarely see: Ribolla Gialla appears as Ribuele, Inzolia as Ansonica, and Friulano as Tocai Friulano.
Which grapes are allowed in every Italian region?
Only two: Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are classed for cultivation in all twenty regions on the register. The most widely cleared Italian grapes, Sangiovese and Barbera, reach seventeen each.
