11 Italian White Wines That Prove You Should Be Drinking From the Boot This Summer
Move over, rosé. By SARA L. SCHNEIDER Every communique on great Italian wines kicks off with a litany of reds: Piedmont’s Barolo and Barbaresco, Tuscany’s Chianti Classico Riserva and Brunello di Montalcino and so on.
