Through the millennia, it has been a celebratory libation at great events, given solace in times of despair and fortified warriors before battle. Whether Possessioni Rosso, still made by descendants of Dante; Barolo ‘Lazzarito’, from a wine estate founded by the son of Italy’s first king; or Terre Rosse di Giabbascio, pressed from grapes grown on ex-Mafia land, the peninsula’s wines provide an intoxicating insight into the ideas, events and personalities that shaped Italian history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf history can sometimes be throat-achingly dry, Millon serves up a delightfully fresh take on Italy’s past, present and future, best enjoyed with a glass in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57401444794750,"sku":"NW9781911723073","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781911723073.jpg?v=1778611195","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/italy-in-a-wineglass","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
