Wine and “good food”

"Eating well" in Italy

Italy has always been synonymous with "good food," offering an unmistakable explosion of flavours, scents, and aromas. Aside from having one of the most famous cuisines, it also proposes the an immense variety, with an incredible number of dishes and recipes that are distinct in every local area, province, and region. Visitors cannot miss the food and wine itineraries - journeys through Italy's gastronomic culture, in search of ancient recipes, genuine products, and simple food inspired by classic Italian cooking and innovative creations. World-renowned products such as Parmigiano Reggiano, Parma and San Daniele prosciutto, balsamic vinegar from Modena, Genoa's pesto, buffalo mozzarella from Campania, Alba truffles, and cured meats are all symbols that make Italy the land of good food. And how could one forget the pasta and pizza, which are universally synonymous with Italy? And wine, a noble ambassador of Italian excellence throughout the world. One experiences pleasure beyond comparison when tasting a fine wine in its native environment - a glass of Chianti or Brunello di Montalcino in Tuscany, of Barbera or Barolo in Piedmont, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene in Veneto, Lambrusco in Emilia Romagna, or the white wines in Friuli and Trentino-Alto Adige, just to provide a few examples. Italy has a world of flavours to taste and tempt the palate...along with the eyes, and the heart!
