As one of the oldest and most diverse of all wine growing regions, Italy spans all the way from the snow topped peaks of the Alps to the sun drenched shores of Sicily. In between, one can dally in the Sangiovese driven wines of Chianti and Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany, the famed Nebbiolo based wines of Barolo and Barbaresco in Piedmont or the lively sparkles of Prosecco, Moscato and Lambrusco. Don’t forget the crisp and refreshing whites as well. Pinot Grigio, Soave, Vermentino and Orvieto are all wines that just beg to be savored with a bowl of shellfish, a slice of fine cheese or a plump piece of poultry.
