Two months to ideally traverse Italy, following the rhythm of the grapes and the birth of wine: from the earliest harvests for white and sparkling wines to the later harvests, from the vineyard to the cellar, from pressing to fermentation, from the aromas of the must to the first tastes of a wine taking shape.

A nine-day, small-group journey from baroque Lecce to the white towns and Matera—meeting the producers behind every glass, olive oil, and plate.
