Wild bird is in Italian city (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brindisi

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'city' is the definition.
(I know that Brindisi is a city)

'wild bird is in' is the wordplay.
'wild' is an anagram indicator.
'bird'+'is'+'in'='birdisin'
'birdisin' anagrammed gives 'BRINDISI'.

'italian' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for brindisi that I've seen before include "toast of some Italians" , "Ibis rind (anag) - Italian port" , "Italian port on the Adriatic" , "Southeast Italian port" , "Italian drinking song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
