A Favorite Italian Wine Region or Wine?
Through exploring this site of mine and my Piedmont site you will discover many of my favorite wines and wine regions.
A large number of the wines and some of the Italian wine regions featured are pretty obscure and few have really been discovered by many people outside of Italy.
This only adds to their attraction and the genuine and high quality wines you will find here are complimented by the superb traditional cuisine and some of the friendliest people you will meet anywhere on earth.
These are humble people, completely unpretentious. Wine and these lands they've lived on for generations are a part of who they are... this is what they were born to do.
For me though it is always wonderful to hear from others of their experience in the Italian wine regions. Have you a region you love most?
Even if you have never been to Italy, I enjoy hearing from people and this page is dedicated to your experience of Italy, Italian wine and Italian food... so send us your food and wine tales.
