The images and news reaching us from Italy in recent days and weeks are disturbing. No other European country has been so badly affected by the Corona crisis, has so many deaths to report. But Italy would not be Italy if it did not face such a difficult situation with warmth, solidarity and humour: The hashtag #tuttoandrabene (everything will be fine) dominates the social networks; the musical flash mobs on balconies have moved the whole world to tears. The poem "La primavera non lo sapeva" (Because spring did not know) by the Italian journalist Irene Vella has given hope to people all over the country (the German translation from Click here to learn more about Katrin Walter. Katrin Walter here). Once again, the Italians prove that they stick together especially in crisis situations and don't let it get them down.

Of course, we at Wein-Plus are also interested in how the Italian winegrowers are doing. How do they compensate for the cancelled fairs and events, what alternative strategies do they have to sell their new vintages? How are they coping with everyday life in a country that has almost come to a complete standstill. We spoke to winemakers from South Tyrol to Sicily on the phone or interviewed them by email and summarised everything worth knowing below.
