Without doubt one of my favourite countries to visit and not just for the wine. The food, scenery and the people all make Italy an amazing country to spend time in. The huge diversity of wines produced across the length and breadth of Italy is incredible. Sparkling wines such as Prosecco and Asti in the North are famous worldwide. The reds from Tuscany are equally sought after but some of the lesser known regions such as Franciacorta, Marche and Puglia produce wines of exceptional quality, value and interest.
