Italian wine is an assortment of vines and territories, of strenuously defended history and of experimentation, of faithfully respected tradition and of innovation. It is this aspect of Italian wine that is also very interesting to worldwide critics, who would like to narrate something new to wine fans all over the world. And, this is precisely what the most influential magazine in the United Kingdom, “Decanter” has done. It dedicated an article to what it has called the “Super-Italians”.
