All the major passes are kept open throughout the winter. For instance if going to Eastern Italy i'd cross Fern and then Brenner.
There are laws on winter tyres in some of the countries, so potentially you may need to change to winter tyres. Snow chains are obligitary where designated and when there is fallen snow. You should carry them from November to April, if venturing on the equivalent B-roads at altitude (i once went up an impassable pass on a bike, I had to turn around, no grip and perishing cold).
