An educational wine experience

Summary:

Ahh the Tuscan Life!

40% hills, 40% mountains. Surrounded by 4 seas, and separated from the European continent via the Alps. One can stand on the southern-most tip of the country and see North Africa.

This is Italy (Enotria--the land of wine).

The world's longest continuing wine production region is also its largest producer. "In Italy, making wine--like eating or breathing--is so utterly natural it almost seems instinctive", says author Karen MacNeil.
