Acclaimed wine writer and illustrator Marisa Finetti, creator of <\/span>Marisa\u2019s Wine Doodles<\/span><\/i>, is excited to unveil her second book, <\/span>Tiny Tales of Umbria \u2013 A Madrevite Story<\/span><\/i>. This innovative book transcends the typical boundaries of wine literature, inviting readers to explore Italy\u2019s \u201cgreen heart\u201d through an immersive storybook journey, rich with illustration and charm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Commissioned by Madrevite<\/a> winery, <\/span>Tiny Tales of Umbria<\/span><\/i> celebrates the spirit of Umbria with what Marisa calls a \u201csip trip\u201d through local wines, offering a taste of the landscapes, culture, and traditions that make this region so captivating. Readers are taken on illustrative walks through ancient landscapes, invited to pause at historical milestones, and shown glimpses into the unique culture that characterizes Umbria. The book also provides a journey around Lake Trasimeno and the surrounding wine-growing areas, paired with recipes from top Umbrian restaurants, allowing readers to recreate regional dishes at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an honor to work with Madrevite on this project. I adore Umbria and am inspired by the dedication that winemaker\/owner Nicola <\/span>Chiucchiurlotto brings to celebrating the bounty around Lake Trasimeno,\u201d says Finetti.<\/span><\/p>\n

Madrevite wines are woven throughout the narrative, with Finetti\u2019s tasting notes accompanied by suggested pairings for both food and music, adding layers of sensory experience. <\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>\u201cThe book is presented in my light and approachable style, but the illustrations really pushed my boundaries as an artist and wine communicator,\u201d she adds. \u201c<\/span>Tiny Tales of Umbria<\/span><\/i> introduces an adaptable concept: the \u201cTiny Tales<\/span>\u2122\u201d <\/span>format can be embraced by any winery or wine region, offering a creative way for winemakers to share the essence of their land, their wines, and their people,\u201d says Finetti.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny Tales of Umbria<\/em> is presented in both English and Italian, allowing readers from around the world to connect with Umbria\u2019s charm and Madrevite\u2019s story in their own language.<\/p>\n
