This month the Italian Food Wine Travel bloggers are looking at native white wine grapes from Italy. Marcia of Joy of Wine invited us to explore, writing: " Time to explore some of Italy's white grapes! There's lots to choose from here coming from all 20 regions! I'm in a market that has a lot of wines to choose from, and since I'm a wine buyer, I can bring in what I want! With that being said, I hope to see a lot of "variety" here in our choice of white wine!" I love a little flexibility in the theme along with the chance to learn about and try a new variety.
