Morning light strips the mist from Umbrian vineyards as the van pulls into Torgiano’s compact square. Stone buildings warm under low sun; a guide opens doors to exhibits where amphorae and presses stand like the industry’s original tools. The first steps of the day are museum steps—objects that trace five millennia of olive oil and wine culture and frame how these liquids shaped Mediterranean diets, trade and ritual.
