As you'll discover
on all ITALY WINE TOURS, the country's wine regions
produce a wide variety of fruity desserts, hearty reds,
and rounded whites.
Thanks in largest part to the temperate climate, rich
soils, ideal altitude, and Mediterranean waters, Italy's
viticulture has been flourishing for nearly 4,000 years.
ITALY HAS 20 OFFICIAL WINE REGIONS IN ALL.
The northwest includes the Piedmont and Lombardy. The
northeast includes Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia and
Trentino-Alto Adige.
Central Italy includes Tuscany, Umbria, Latium, and
Abruzzi. These regions have moved to the forefront of
Italian wine production. The six southern regions produce
nearly 40 percent of Italy's wines. Beside to the wine
culture, THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET is universally
recognized being the most suitable for an healthy life.
Italian food eaten abroad, even if well prepared, never
tastes like "at home". It is a question of
atmosphere, of smell, of sounds, of sights, of taverns,
of restaurants and of service: it is the spirit of Italians
who have always expressed their social life sit at a
prepared table.
