italy
No other country can boast so many native varietals, styles and arguably, great love of their wine. Some estimate that Italy produces over 1,500 different grapes, in every type of terrain from the wide open fields of Puglia in the South to the mountainous terrain of Alto-Adige in the north, and from La Marche in the east to Piemonte in the west. You could spend the rest of your life tasting through this beautiful, complex land and still not taste all its myriad styles of wine.
