Italy's vineyards stretch from Alpine peaks to volcanic islands, from rolling Tuscan hills to sun-drenched coastlines. Each glass of Italian wine carries not only the flavor of its land but also the imprint of centuries of tradition, community, and culture.
Italianity is a groundbreaking exploration of that soul. Written by Andrea Lonardi, one of Italy's most respected winemakers, agronomists, and a rare Master of Wine, together with acclaimed wine journalist Jessica Dupuy, this book traces the cultural thread that unites Italy's native grapes and the people who cultivate them.
From the misty hills of Piedmont and the Alpine slopes of Alto Adige to the volcanic soils of Sicily and the olive groves of Tuscany, Italianity brings readers face-to-face with the landscapes, families, and traditions that make Italian wine unlike anything else on earth.
Through vivid storytelling, unforgettable encounters, and cultural reflection, Lonardi and Dupuy reveal how Italian wine is more than a beverage: it is history and heritage, innovation and resilience, the rhythm of the seasons, the joy of the table, and a way of seeing beauty in the everyday.
