An Italian wine bearing Bob Dylan's signature is reported to be going on sale later this year. Sharing a name with Dylan's 1974 album Planet Waves, the blend of Montepulciano and Merlot is the result of a collaboration between Antonio Terni, an Italian winemaker, and the singer-songwriter. The Guardian says that Terni, a Dylan fan from Ancona, Italy, recently met the drummer from Dylan's band at a party. Terni sent his idol a bottle of wine that he had produced, and received an email back from his manager asking if he could help Dylan become more involved in wine. Dylan joins the ranks of celebrity wine-producers Francis Ford Coppola, Cliff Richard and Mick Hucknall.
