$8 Italian Reds

While many Italian wine lovers find enjoyment in big, expensive wines like Brunello and Barolo, we like to appreciate the simple things. For us, there's nothing quite like finding an excellent, inexpensive Italian wine that you can pair with a simple plate of spaghetti or a takeout pizza. Keeping the entire meal (wine and all) to well under $20 gives us a special joy. This list is our attempt to make that possible.

Read on for our list of $8 and Under Italian Reds!
