{"product_id":"tableau-carte-des-vins-d-italie-sur-panneau","title":"Italy Wine Map on Panel","description":"\u003ch3\u003eTwenty regions, all of them wine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItaly cut in wood and mounted on a printed chart, framed in dark wood, 58 × 65 cm. What the map makes plain is a fact most people know abstractly: every one of Italy's twenty regions produces wine, from Alto Adige at the Austrian border to Sicily. France divides into a handful of famous names; Italy does not, and laid out like this the difference is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe shape is the challenge and the appeal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItaly is long and narrow, so it wastes space in a square frame, which is why this panel is taller than it is wide. The peninsula runs the height of the chart with Sardinia and Sicily in the lower left, and the printed labels take the space alongside. A recognisable silhouette carries from further away than a compact one, so this reads from across a restaurant in a way the French panels do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the wood and the printing share the work\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wood carries the map: a walnut-stained base with all twenty region names and the towns engraved, Rome with a star, and the wine zones raised on top as separate pieces in paler and darker tones. The chart around it, aged grey and mottled with faint vines, repeats the regions in pairs, Lazio-Campania, Marche-Abruzzo, Sardegna-Sicilia, each with its grape varieties listed under it: Verdicchio, Pecorino, Montepulciano, Sagrantino, Aglianico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat language it is in\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRegion names and grape varieties are in Italian; the town names on the wood are in English, Rome, Naples, Florence, Turin. There is no language option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAssembled and framed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eArrives complete and hangs from the fixing built into the back. The aged grey ground and dark frame suit kitchens and dining rooms with wood or terracotta in them, and it belongs on a wall of framed things.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePanel or pieces\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/wooden-wine-map-of-italy\"\u003ewooden wine map of Italy\u003c\/a\u003e is the same country with no chart and no frame, its region badges shaped like jugs, glasses and corks mounted around it on the wall. If France is the subject, the \u003ca href=\"\/en\/products\/france-wine-map-on-beige-panel\"\u003eFrench panel\u003c\/a\u003e is the companion piece in the same format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne honest limitation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDecorative rather than authoritative. Vineyard boundaries are simplified to what can be cut and read at this scale, and the smallest denominations are grouped into their regions rather than drawn separately.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Creatifwood","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47256695210115,"sku":"TCF03","price":129.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/8818\/8035\/files\/D0_BF_D0_B0_D0_BD_D0_BE1.png?v=1780866799","url":"https:\/\/creatifwood.fr\/en\/products\/italy-wine-map-on-panel","provider":"Creatifwood","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
