Knock back a small drink in Italy (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pisa

'in italy' is the definition.
('Pisa' is part of 'italy')

'knock back a small drink' is the wordplay.
'knock back' is a reversal indicator.
'small drink' becomes 'sip' (I've seen this in another clue).
'a'+'sip'='asip'
'asip' backwards is 'PISA'.

(Other definitions for pisa that I've seen before include "Site of the famous leaning tower" , "Italian city with famous tower" , "listed building site" , "Italian city with leaning tower" , "Place with leaning tower" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
