WOODY ALLEN MAKES ITALIAN WINE THE STAR ON THE BIG SCREEN. FROM FEUDI SAN GREGORIO TO FERRARI, THE NEW YORK FILM DIRECTOR’ DEDICATION TO THE ETERNAL CITY RENEWS A LONG-TIME LOVE AFFAIR, FROM "THE BARBARIAN INVASIONS" TO "HEREAFTER"

After a lifetime in New York, Woody Allen is at his fourth film shot in Europe and pays tribute to the Eternal City in "To Rome with Love", a declaration of love for the city of… wine & food. Banquets, picnics and restaurants, the real stars of the film also become the top Italian brands at the table: Woody brings a gift of Feudi San Gregorio wines to his future in-laws and the singer - undertaker, one of the many hilarious characters in the film toasts with a bottle of Ferrari.
And then also Italian wines like Nino Negri’s 5 Stars Sfursat and Prosecco Carpenè Malvolti or food brands like Pasta Garofalo, San Benedetto water, Beretta cured meats, Mutti tomatoes and Illy coffee. The love story between Hollywood and Italian wine has been going on a long time and ranges from Clint Eastwood’s "Hereafter" "... we will warm up with a glass of Barbaresco, a fantastic wine from Piedmont in northern Italy, made from Nebbiolo grapes. Drink a sip, courage ... To Your Health! ", to Denys Arcand’s "The Barbarian Invasions”, where you toast with a Tuscan wine, because "what's better than a glass of Castello Banfi’s Excelsus to remember the beauty of Italy?”.
