Modo di Bere is a multimedia publication about local culture through drinks and dialect.
Wine writer Rose Thomas Bannister was interviewing Italian farmers when she realized that Italy has as many local “dialects” as it has local grapes.
She wondered what would happen if she extended the concept of terroir—a wine’s sense of place—to include the local language.
Modo di Bere Podcast, Magazine and Travel Show investigate the connections between biodiversity and linguistic diversity, in Italy and beyond.
“Modo di bere,” way of drinking, is a pun on the Italian words for a saying, “modo di dire,” way of saying.
