Wine is a typical product of the Mediterranean countries, since its production was started many centuries ago in Georgia and then spread out all over in Minor Asia, North Africa and, through the Greeks, Etruria, or Enotria (Enos= wine).
This very interesting exhibition takes place now at the Silverware Museum in Pitti Palace until May 15th and deals with the development of wine, grape species and selection, landscapes, clay tools related to wine, commerce networks, and of course the myth of Dionisus.I visited the exhibition last week and I think that this is a "must" for all those who love wine culture. This could also be the starting point for wine tasting, tours of farms and beautiful ancient cellars around Florence.
