Wines and Vines of Italy is a workplan born out of curiosity. In the 80's after I tried a wine I did not know, I went to several bookstores looking for a book on Italian wines. Wine is an important part of the national agricultural sector, yet there is no comprehensive publication on this topic, nor anything available at the National Library nor at the Ministry of Agriculture. For this reason I started this research work originally for my personal use that is still growing and expanding.
