Slow Wine is a branch of the Slow Food movement that started in Piedmont in the 80s.  It is an evaluation of wineries that takes into account key factors such as viticultural practices and sustainability.  The Slow Wine Guide is the closest you can get to walking through Italy's vineyards without buying a flight.
