I Vini d'Italia

 Italy is a BIG country when it comes to wines.

 There are microclimates that differ from one side of a hill

 to the other;

 so you can imagine the diversity in a country

 that encompasses islands, mountains, sunny, foggy, dry or balmy spots, and latitude, thus seasonal, considerations: north-to-south.

 Right now I am (literally and figuratively) enjoying the wines of Sicily.

 As with most locales, there is apparently 

a wide range of quality in their wines,

 with the volcanic slopes of Etna being 

the most prized and challenging.

 But whatever the location, 

Sicily is a place of dedicated vintners.
