ME: A 12 yo Navy brat living in Italy, on vacation at a Palermo resort.
The waiter (addressing a table of 10-13 yo kids): I can take your order while drinks are self serve; soft drinks are over there, wine and whisky to the left of that.

I don't know what the legal drinking age was at the time (mid-2000s), but if it was above 13 it certainly wasn't really enforced.
I don't know if Italy has a drinking age. The culture around wine just doesn't make it a taboo. Kids drink watered down wine like it's juice for dinner.
no drinking age but you gotta be 18 to buy it. Although Ibought alcohol from Indian stores without being 18
