Digging deeper: Lessons from the vineyards of southern Italy

Last month, I happened to transit through Italy. I wasn’t going to miss the opportunity to visit the scenic landscapes of Southern Italy, and an unexpected detour took me to the famous local wineries. Winemaking fascinates me because it’s not just about grapes and bottles; it has played a crucial role in history, even influencing events like Alexander the Great’s military campaigns.
