Where are we?
Monza: Michelin tells me that
Monza is famous for its racing circuit, popular with thousands of fans who come here hoping to witness another victory by the Scuderia, the Ferrari racing team. However, there is much more to the city than just Formula One racing. Its cathedral is one of the most important in the region, housing the Iron Crown of the kings of Lombardy, and the city was also the scene of the assassination of Umberto I of Italy by an anarchist in 1900

The stage: After three weeks, a time trial to decide this year's Giro winner. So much for a processional, instead a highly stressful time trial. The favorite to take the win: Dumoulin. But time will tell.
The early leaders:

Ar.Pe.Pe. (short for Arturo Pelizzatti Perego) is a historic and well-regarded estate in the Valtellina, a mountainous region of northwestern Italy that borders Switzerland, “where the Nebbiolo grape attains the finesse and precision of Pinot Noir,” according to Ar.Pe.Pe.’s importer. “
Ar.Pe.Pe. specializes in two terroirs within the Valtellina: Sassella and Grumello. Grumello, with more slate and limestone in the soil, gives wines with more finesse and minerality, while Sassella, with red rocks and clay, makes a more powerful wine.
The exception, the Rosso di Valtellina, is a light-bodied, high-toned, and savory Nebbiolo that drinks well young.
