Central Italy
Of course, great wine is produced all across Italy, but the real magic happens in the middle of the country. Tuscany and Abruzzi are home to the Montepulciano and Sangiovese grapes, which have given us some of the most popular red wines in the world. Meanwhile in Umbria, the Trebbiano and Grechetto grapes produce a uniquely floral yet earthy white.
Choose accommodation which has its own vineyard or Enoteca for the ultimate Italian wine vacation. Castello Banfi or Castello di Velono for a bit of old Tuscan glamour within arm’s reach of a glass of local Chianti.
