Italy

While the world is abuzz with talk of 'Super Tuscans', Italy’s rich winemaking history harks back to the Roman Empire and spans 20 wine regions, each with its own climate, topography and soil. Each region also has its own distinctive winemaking traditions and styles – creating alchemy from its hundreds of grape varietals. PMFW focuses on the alpine area of Piemont (Piedmont) and Toscana (Tuscany).
