about local culture through drinks and dialect
After talking to a lot of Italian farmers, wine writer Rose Thomas Bannister realized Italy has as many “dialects” as it has local grapes. Modo di Bere expands terroir—a wine’s sense of place—to include the local language.
Our Podcast, Magazine and Travel Show connect biodiversity and linguistic variety, in Italy and beyond, through local drinks and local sayings.
