I’ve had this wine and that wouldn’t be my first pic for an image, though I sort of get it. I may have gone for a still of Silvana Mangano from BITTER RICE (or, if I felt it was a less serious effort, a still from “Lucy’s Italian Movie” episode from I LOVE LUCY). I think the wine has a neo-realist, rustic quality that Sophia Loren just can’t convey…
