In this episode of our newsletter, we explore the fascinating contrast between life in Australia and Italy as the seasons shift. Monica reflects on her experience living in Perth, where spring begins in September, while Italy prepares for autumn and the iconic vendemmia (grape harvest).
We dive into Italian wine traditions, sharing personal memories of harvesting grapes with family in the vineyards of Piedmont. You’ll also discover some interesting wine recommendations, perfect for your next trip to a vineria or when browsing a restaurant’s Lista dei Vini.
If you’re learning Italian, this newsletter is a fantastic way to immerse yourself in the language with listening practice, new vocabulary, and cultural insights. Grab a glass of wine, read along, and enjoy the journey through Italy’s harvest season!
Tune in, read along, and improve your Italian—one sip at a time!
