Italy is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world because of its natural beauty, art, and history, as well as its food and wine.
This is why we want to embark on a wine adventure around Italy’s numerous regions, studying the diverse territories and geographical variety.
We will look into numerous grape varieties as well as the significance of diverse microclimates. We shall look at the Italian standards that regulate the procedures that contribute to the uniqueness and originalities of Italian wines.
We will practice wine tasting the Italian way, leading to an awareness of nuances that identify each region and we will investigate the Italian skill of pairing.
