As per tradition, together with our friends at Dvine Cellars in London, we’re presenting a selection of six wines showcasing the same terroir that the 2025 Giro d’Italia will visit in May. And, as we’ve done in other years, we’ve asked Greg Andrews and Luciana Girotto of Dvine to talk us through the selection ahead of the race.



If you’re not into wine, this is NOT the podcast for you! We have our full XL race preview coming on Tuesday, so hold tight for that. If, however, you do want to hear what Luciana, Greg and Daniel have to say, stay tuned and head to https://dvinecellars.com/products/the-cycling-podcast-giro-ditalia-2025 to make an order.



The wines in the case are listed below. Unfortunately, Dvine’s cases are still only available to UK listeners but in many instances you will be able to find similar wines, from the same regions, wherever you are. Please also enjoy in moderation!



The wines (in Giro route order):

Salice Salentino Il Pumo 2021, San Marzano, Puglia

Vigneti Tardis, Martedì Paestum Rosso, Campania

Lambrusco del Fondatore 2023, Cleto Chiarli, Emilia-Romagna

Incrocio Manzoni Costa degli Angeli 2022/23, Casa Paolin, Veneto
