"I ate in many trattorie in Rome in the 1970's as well as in the homes of Romans and the great majority drank red wine not white."

Yes, Loveitaly, that is a well known fact. Pure and simple.

Orvietto Classico is quite enjoyable on a warm Italian day. I don't think of it as a great wine like Brunello, but it sure hits the spot! It's a good match with seafood, too.

Arnis is a white Italian grape that can make very good wine.
