    I have loved the region of Bordeaux ever since I first set foot in it. The enchanting châteaux and mythical grand houses rising from tailored landscapes, the beautifully cared-for vineyards on gently rolling hills interspersed with cobbled historic villages felt magical to me on my first hot, summer visit, and

    “Our Sicilian wines are ideal for people on diets, those who need minerals for sports practice, and for people with high blood pressure. You don’t even need to add salt to the water when you're cooking pasta, a good Inzolia wine is flavor enough, itself!” Giacomo Ansaldi, winemaker at Fazio
