“We opened in Venice, then next played Verona…then Mantua and Padua… and then…” Those Cole Porter lyrics from a long-ago Broadway musical sound like a tourist’s itinerary of Veneto. A gondola ride and gelato in St. Mark’s Square. Standing under Juliet’s balcony in Verona, or exploring the museums and churches of Padua. Maybe even day-tripping to Tr...

The wines of Trentino-Alto Adige are among both Italy's most popular and obscure. From a wine point of view, Trentino and Alto Adige (also known as South Tyrol) are very different.

I’m sipping the Santannella wine, a blend comprising 70% Fiano...
