Go take a look for yourself! 🙂
We are pretty excited to share the news of a new wine project and powerful tool that we just rolled out on Flora’s Table: an overview of all of Italy’s 74 DOCG appellations (those that are at the top of the Italian appellation system pyramid) broken down by region.

I love Italian wines, even more since I tried the Montepulciano and others in Italy, the place where they are created. What an experience. I’m excited to hear about this new project, will follow closely. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your comment, Cecilia: I am glad you love Italian wines and have enjoyed some good Montepulciano: it is a great variety, if grown and vinified appropriately! I am also very happy to hear that you liked this project which I hope you will find a helpful reference point. Thank you!
An ambitious/terrific project!
Thank you very much, Elena: I am glad you liked it! 🙂
