Item Description

There is no other nation on earth with a wine culture like that of Italy. There are over 2,000 indigenous varieties (native grapes) spread throughout this beautiful country. Each of Italy's 20 regions is home to a unique viticultural industry, from the cool climates in the Northeast, such as Alto Adige and Friuli, to the warm, sunny zones of the South, such as Campania, Puglia, and Sicily. Be it delicious whites with vibrant acidity or powerful reds that age for decades, Italian wines present every color in the rainbow, viticulturally speaking!

Now you can jump-start your very own Italian wine cellar with a hand-picked selection of twenty (20) bottles of fine Italian wines (15 red wines, 4 whites, and one sparkling white) that have been carefully chosen for you and donated by the following Italian Mann families:
