Players compete to purchase vineyards along the Italian peninsula. By exploiting their own lands, they will produce wine with which they will realize the revenue necessary to develop their own activities. Who will become the most famous? The game is played in 6 turns. Each turn is divided into 3 phases: 1. The arrangement of the turn 2. The choice of actions 3. The development of actions The arrangement of the turn Put 6 land cards on the table: get the first 4 from the stacks corresponding to the specific grape varieties. Get the last 2 from the shared deck. These will be the lands that can be purchased in the turn.
