Italian wine belongs to the Italian culture
Wine has been produced in Italy since the 8th century BC. Thus, it has been an inseparable part of Italian culture for many centuries. And in no other European country was wine produced earlier. This also makes Italy Europe's oldest wine-growing region. And today it is also one of the most important wine-growing countries in the world.
Steady upward trend of Italian wine
Nothing could stop the steady upward trend of Italian wine over the centuries. In the 18th century, for example, Italians preferred to drink wine from French vintners. It was not until the 19th century that Italian winegrowers returned to their own strengths in viticulture and initially set about reworking vineyards or planting new ones, especially in Piedmont, Veneto and Tuscany. Over the course of many years, the new enthusiasm for their own wine spilled over into other Italian wine-growing regions. Today, Italy is divided into twenty wine regions and has over a hundred wineries that grow wine on a total of about 168,000 hectares.
