What people say

""The Italian Caribbean", the island Sardinia is home of some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world. It's not a mainstream Mediterranean destination but a sophisticated island with beautiful beaches, turquoise sea and fascinating rock formations. It's also famous for being a home to the world's longest-living men that makes it to be one of the happiest and harmonic places you would ever visit. The most impressive part of the island is the Costa Smeralda and Gold of Orosei. "
"This beautiful island between Italy's west coast and Spain has a really unique culture all to itself. Sardinians do not consider themselves Italian, necessarily. Italian, French, African, Spanish, and other influences are found here. Known for Pecorino cheese and incredible meat dishes, plus its dry Cannanou wine. "

Mentioned in these guides

It's hard to think of an Italian meal without thinking of a wine to enjoy it with, and the food and wine in Italy could arguably be two of the top reasons to travel there. Pairing your meal with the perfect wine makes the dining experience that much more enjoyable so to take the guesswork out of what will pair best, the following is a brief guide to some of Italy's most renowned regional dishes, spanning from north to south, along with a few recommended wine pairings for each. Whether you're dining at an Italian restaurant at home or exploring local eateries in Italy, this guide will help you avoid becoming overwhelmed by extensive wine lists if you are unsure what to look for. In Italy, feel free to also ask the waiter or sommelier for recommendations on what to drink with your food. They are likely to suggest a wine from the region you are in, not only to help support local wine growers and producers, but also so you have the chance to experience the authentic flavors of the area through both the food and the wine. ⭐️PRO TIP - While dining out, if you plan to enjoy wine with your meal but haven't decided on what you will be eating yet, start with a glass of sparkling wine. This way, you'll have something to sip on while reviewing the food and wine menus and making your choice. Sparkling wine is an excellent palate cleanser to prep you for a savory meal, and Italy has some of the best. Buon Apetito!
