Team Spirits

Soccer Wine in Italy

A recent stroll through an Autogrill halfway between Rome and Naples alerted us to a whole new way in which Italy’s passionate football fans can support their team.

We were utterly entertained to stumble upon a sizable display of wines labeled in honor of Italy’s most popular teams.  There were bottles featuring the A.S. Roma shield, complete with its iconic She-Wolf (top left), while others were embellished with the bold baby blue Napoli logo (top right), the elegant italicized Juventus name (bottom left) and the red script that denotes A.C. Milano.

We’re sorry to say that we didn’t have the the opportunity to crack open any such bottles, but we’ve no doubt that they’re fine vintages.
