By Region Regional wine qualities tend to reflect the specifics of regional cuisines. Here are some top wine picks in Europe: Northern Italy: Piemonte and the Veneto are greatly influenced by the rich subtelty of their butter-worshipping French and Swiss neighbors. Central Italy: Trendy cuisine from Tuscany and Chianti favors lighter pastas, vegetables and seafood.
