What makes it special

Some appellations ignore regional borders. These cross from one region into another, usually because the landscape that defines the wine does.

What makes it unique

Lugana straddles the southern shore of Lake Garda between Lombardy and the Veneto, and Colli di Luni joins Liguria and Tuscany at the mouth of the Magra. Orvieto spills from Umbria into Lazio, and the Prosecco and Delle Venezie DOCs cover huge areas of the northeast.

Why you should care

11 of these still need a bottle. See them on the wanted list.
