12 of the Best Wine Destinations in the World

You may go to Italy for the ancient ruins and beautiful, romantic views — but you probably are also going for the wine. And lots of it. Choose from 100-plus wineries found along the Strada del Franciacorta to sample Franciacorta, which is handcrafted in the metodo classico, the sparklers are complex and crisp and range from rose to satèn, a silky smooth style unique to the region. While there, stay at Agriturismo Locanda Le Quattro Terre, an ancient farmhouse of the 18th century, restored to honor the original traits and environment. Quattro Terre is surrounded by vineyards and nestled in the quiet hills of Franciacorta.
