There are few things Italians love more than cycling and wine. In honor of the Giro d'Italia, B3 has both for you this month.  Second only to the Tour de France as cycling's most prestigious race, The Giro is a race known for its epic climbs, some so high that riders have to contend with lingering snow and ice on the road. The leader stands out by wearing the "maglia rosa" (pink jersey) and the battle isn't over until 21 stages have been completed including the final day time trial in Rome. This year's race promises a battle of epic proportions between cycling's top riders.  For the first time in his career Lance Armstrong will be participating in the race along with fellow American contender Levi Lepheimer and their Astana Team. 
 
B3 is offering a broad selection of red and white Italian wines this month. Among the palette-pleasing pours, give the Stellina di Notte Pinot Grigio, from Friuli a try. This light delicious white wine is silky on the palate,  yields a clean, fresh finish will simply delight you with its aromas of pear, citrus, and honey suckle. Looking for a furity red instead? Try the Conti Contini, Sangiovese, from Tuscany, a well balanced red with a pleasant fruity bouquet and flavors of blackberry fruit.
 
We are also serving Italy's most famous beer, Peroni. Established in Vigevano Italy in 1846, Peroni is the number one lager brand in Italy and has been for over one and a half centuries.  A refreshing smooth lager, Peroni is suitable for all occasions like, uh...perhaps watching the Giro d' Italia at B3.
