The meeting point between those who make Italian wine and those who look for it.
Italy counts between forty and fifty thousand wine producers. Almost all of them make good wine, and almost all of them tell that story only to the people who live nearby: an institutional website, a trade fair, word of mouth within the province. Wine, however, is a global product. Together with France, Italy accounts for the largest share of international trade, and exports billions of euros' worth of wine every year.
Grapes Italy exists to close that distance. It does not produce wine and does not run a catalogue bought from third parties: it connects those who make it with those who look for it, in four languages, starting from direct relationships with the producers.
