Beginners Guide to italian Wines

Guide to Discovering Italian wines: www.mamablip.com/en/video/gui...
Italy is a bucket-list country for many and begs to be seen. We all know that the boot is an amazing beautiful country with a rich cultural heritage and fantastic cuisine.
What makes Italy the perfect place for wine?
Italy has 20 regions, each as distinctive and unique as the country’s boot-like shape. Snow-capped mountains, tranquil lakes, glistening seas, gentle rolling hills, verdant plains, active and dormant volcanoes, and jagged coastlines fill the landscape. From tip to toe, the geography is as diverse as the climate and traditions. It is this very diversity - the richness in soil types, the macro and micro climates, the biodiversity in grapes - that makes Italy an incredible region for grape-growing and wine production.
How many grape varieties does Italy have?
One can (and should!) marvel at the biodiversity in grape types alone. Italy produces wine from over 350 native grape varieties and new vines, once considered lost, are regularly being rediscovered in the most hidden or forgotten areas of the country.
If we think about Italy and visualize the shape of the country geographically, we can divide the boot into three main parts - North, Central, and South. The islands of Sicily and Sardinia are sometimes considered South but they are really two worlds of their own!
