\u201cFor centuries, this rugged terrain has been shaped and\nadapted by man.\u201d Italy has been lobbying to have the hills, which stretch for\n30 kilometres (nearly 20 miles), receive this recognition for a decade. On\nSunday, the region became Italy\u2019s 55th World Heritage site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sales of the wine rose six per cent in 2018 to 460 million\nbottles, of which 75 percent were exported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
