THE ITALIAN WINE (some history)
The heritage dates back some 4.000 years to when peoples pressed grapes into juice that, as if by magic, fermented into wine. The ancient Greeks, expanding into Italy's southern reaches, dubbed the colonies Oenotria, the land of the wine. Etruscans were subtle and serene practitioners of the art of wine making in the hills of central Italy, as attested by the art and artefacts left in their spacious tombs. The Romans propagated the cult of Bacchus to all corners of the empire, developing a flourishing trade in wine throughout the Mediterranean and beyond.

The adventure in taste
Italy's reputation with wine is due not only to the fact that it produces and exports more than any other country but that offers the greatest variety of types, ranging nearly e
very colour, flavours and style
imaginable. Getting
to know the unique wines of Italy is an endless
adventure in taste. This comes from the variety of the
lands of wines that
from Sicily move northwards trough the historic hills past Rome
and Florence,
and over the Apennines to the Po valley and on into
the Alps, with some of Europe's highest vineyards. There are grape variety in Italy such Aglianico and Greco of Campania and Gaglioppo of Calabria which can be traced back 2.500 years, while Chianti, Sangiovese, Barolo's Nebbiolo, Valpolicella's Corvina, Frascati's Malvasia, are centuries old.
