Italy is full of Leonardo da Vinci landscapes and Piero della Francesca views. Yet all too often it turns into a well-trodden trail to arty Florence and overly popular “Chiantishire.” Can you really have your wine and drink it, preferably in a magical wine estate close to the mountains and the sea?
