Dispelling the myth: Italy’s 5 native grape varieties. Prof. Attilio Scienza VIA Advanced Seminar with Lara Loreti

According to Professor Attilio Scienza, the term autochthonous no longer refers to the place of origin of a grape variety, but instead to the place where that species manifests itself in the best possible way. In this in-depth seminar and tasting, Professor Scienza demonstrates this theory by exploring the origins and development of five iconic Italian grape varieties.

By shattering the myth of autochthony, and exploring the true meaning and origin of some of Italy’s most iconic vines, Professor Scienza draws on the latest scientific research to redefine our understanding of Italy’s greatest native varieties.
