Want Italian wine in Australia ? Italophile says the time is now

Amid a tongue-twisting litany of Italian wine varietal minutiae leading his recent article in Australia’s Financial Review, wine and drinks writer Tim White offered the wine-drinking masses a unique look into the emergence of Italian wines in the Land Down Under. White pointed out that Australia’s Chalmers nursery is exerting “pioneering efforts” in creating “vine stocks of Italian cultivars” that “are as good as you’ll find them in their homeland.” In fact, White pointed out, “there are more than a dozen clones of Sangiovese available now in Australia.”
