We all love Italian wine, but Italy produces wine in all 20 of its regions from over 350 authorised grape varieties. It's a lifetime’s work to try them all but we thought we'd help you on that journey with a selection of modern Italian classics for your enjoyment. In this case you'll get 12 different wines (6 whites and 6 reds).
