Unravel the lesser-known wonders of Italy while delving into unique microbreweries that offer innovative flavors, born from the rich heritage of Italian agri-food traditions. Each carefully crafted tourist itinerary is accompanied by recommended microbreweries, where creative beers with distinct tastes await your palate.
