If you ever wondered what's the difference between Italian wine that you taste in Italy and Italian wine at your local wine shop, here's the answer.
Italy is home to the largest artisan wine scene in the world. These are usually small family vineyards who hand-harvest their grapes that they grow at their estate. They usually cultivate their vines so they produce lower-yields which raise the quality of the grapes. They avoid chemicals in the vineyard and cellar as much as possible, offering you good clean wine. And most importantly, they drink their own wine!
Artisan wines are the opposite of mass-produced wines which are factory-made like a soda.
The real problem is that most artisan wines don't leave Italy.
Importer and Author of "Hidden Gems of Italy," Tony Margiotta, uncovered this artisan wine world during his travels in Italy. He imports these wines and distributes them to restaurants and boutique wine shops.
Even still, these precious wines can be difficult to find. They get mixed on the shelves with mass-produced wines. And even if you could find some, they're not all found in the same wine shop. Which means you have to bounce from store to store to find one artisan wine, if any...
Enter "Italian Wine Store."
