The Italian Renaissance of Wine

In quality, quantity and pure enjoyment, Italy is the world’s greatest wine-grower.  But until the 1950’s, most Italian wine was sold in bulk, with no reference to grape, region or vintage.  How did this nation known for straw-wrapped bottles of plonk transform into America’s favorite import?   We’ll taste 5 favorite Italian wines paired with stuzzichini (Italian noshes), practice Italian wine terms and reveal how Chicago became the heart of Italy’s wine Renaissance.
