Italian Wine Series: The regions of Italy

Over the next three weeks I'll be doing a series about the wines of each of Italy's 20 regions.

Each entry will have a list of wines typical to the specific area along with info about the region. I'll also choose a local wine that is a good value.

The regions to be covered:

Abruzzo
Basilicata
Calabria
Campania
Emilia-Romagna
Friuli-Venezia Giulia
Lazio
Liguria
Lombardy
Marche
Molise
Piedmont
Puglia
Sardinia
Sicily
Tuscany
Trentino
Umbria
Valle d'Aosta
Veneto

I'll also be attending the NYC Food & Wine Festival this week and will be seeking out as much info on the subject as possible. If you have any reference material to contribute either in advance or as comments I would greatly appreciate it.
