101 Southern Italian Wine Producers Visited in Italy

With first time visits this October to 11 Southern Italian wine producers, my wife and I have now visited 101 different producers since our first visit in 2010 to Terre del Principe. Most of the producers are small family operated companies that adhere to natural/organic/sustainable practices in the vineyard and cellar. No two producers make their wine the same way,  but they all make it the correct way. We have heard the dreams, observed the challenges and respected the resiliency of these producers.  Their passion for their craft increases my passion to do as much as I can to assist them. Here is a map that plots the 101 wineries as well as other points of interest. https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?hl=en&ll=40.475245530599985%2C15.772657798598598&z=10&mid=1r8Jfh7JI9Ai5aKRaqDnwCHDfEqg
