A 4,000-year industry veteran, Italy is home to over 900 native grape varieties, more than any other country - most of which are not grown anywhere else in the world. Italy is a prolific wine producer, outpacing every other country in the world in most years. Barolo, Chianti Classico, and Prosecco are some of the most famous wines, but there is an unlimited opportunity for exploration.  Most Italian wines are earth-driven, with a hint of bitterness that makes them great partners for food.
