More Italian vocabulary in the news dealing with wine, this time from the Italian Wine Merchants newsletter:

"Le Pergole Torte was the first single vineyard Super-Tuscan to be made from 100% Sangiovese. Owner Sergio Manetti was thoroughly displeased with the on-going addition of vitigni migliorativi, or complementary grapes (e.g Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, etc.) to Sangiovese in an attempt to produce a more "international" wine with broader appeal."

More proof that not only is drinking Italian wine good for your health, but it also can improve your Italian vocabulary.
