Italy’s native grapes offer one of the deepest and most diverse vinous landscapes in the world, making them ideal subjects for a focused study. From well‑known classics like Aglianico and Nerello Mascalese to lesser‑known gems such as Fiano, and Frappato, hundreds of distinct varieties reflect sharply defined regional identities and traditions. Exploring these indigenous grapes reveals how history, microclimate, and culture shape style and structure, and invites a richer, more nuanced understanding of Italy beyond its international varieties.
