Italy

An explorer’s paradise, Italy is the birthplace of some of the world’s most iconic, age-worthy wines like Barolo, Brunello, and Amarone (not to mention beloved, traditional spirits like grappa and sambuca). It’s also home to more native grape varieties than anywhere else in the world and is blessed with vastly diverse terroirs — alpine valleys, rolling hills, a coastline that touches four seas, and an intricate mosaic of soils.
