ITALY’S 20 WORLDS
OF NATIVE WINES

ON THE ROAD WITH 20 MONDI

Italy is not a country. Italy is a land of 20 worlds.
20 different geographic and territorial regions, each with its own historical, cultural and physical identity and with unique varietals of winemaking grapes. Each is a world unto itself. 20 Mondi is an on the road project to encourage responsible wine tourism while discovering the best kept secrets of Italy’s 20 worlds.

TRAVELING THROUGH 20 WORLDS OF AWESOME DIVERSITY

Our name 20 MONDI refers to Italy’s 20 regions. Our job is to travel to the source to discover and share with you Italy’s unbelievable abundance of everything. What is our guiding light? Italian regional wines.

Did you know that Italy has over 600 autochthonous grapes? Autochthonous means indigenous and, simply said, we love Italy’s superabundance of local grapes like nebbiolo, ribolla gialla and sciascinoso; thought provoking and tastebud tantalizing alternatives to the ubiquitous international standards like cabernet, merlot, and chardonnay. Each of Italy’s 20 regions boasts unique fruit that expresses the land it grows on. Many of these grapes are the stars of some of the world’s most delicious and renowned wines.

SUSTAINABLE IDEAS
FOR A BETTER ITALY

Wind power, solar power, electric cars. We’ll be on the road in our electric camper searching for Italy’s more than 600 autochthonous grapes. A modern interpretation of Mario Soldati’s travels he took over a half century ago for his book Vino Al Vino. Soldati wrote on the need to change the way we live to stop polluting our air and rivers and seas, and on how we are degrading our natural environment, risking the extinction of Italy’s natural and traditional wines and foods. Sustaining Italy’s diversity of indigenous grapes is good not only for the environment but is also a metaphor for the diversity of the Italian people from region to region, from town to town, their character, personality, ideals, social norms and traditions. 20 worlds of diversity to care for.
