When I walk down the aisles of wine displayed in stores, I always smile when I see vino di Italia.
I will read the label to see if I have visited the region or town where the wine is 'created'.
Yes, I did just write 'created. After attending a wine tasting with Yle (Yletour.com) I learned that wine has history, many steps and stages of production and many skilled hands to become the liquid treasure Vino.
And every region is passionate about their wines.
In Orvietto I had a lengthy conversation with a woman at her wine shop. Neither she nor I fully understood the entire conversations (Italian/English) but she easily conveyed her love for the popular white wine that I carried back to my hotel.
Wine is revered in Italy......Each region has their famous wines and wine production is an art. So it was a pleasure to have Michele show me how to appreciate a wine tasting. (see video above)
