Easter in Italy is a serious topic. Children and teenagers are on vacation for a week, adults plan Easter lunch weeks in advance to decide who should bring what. La settimana Santa (aka Holy week) starts on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter. But what about wine?

Easter: high, medium or low?

Let’s start with a little curiosity: we know that Easter does not have a fixed date but changes from year to year. Traditionally in Italy we speak of “high, medium or low Easter” according to the date:

- low Easter if between 22/03 and 02/04
- medium Easter between 03/04 and 13/04
- high Easter between 14/04 and 25/04
