Book excerpt: Attention to the work of winemaking reverses terroir 's assumed connections between people, place, and product: rather than topography or culture creating a unique wine, the labor required to create a certain product contours landscapes and ecologies, while also shaping communities and crafting subjectivities. In this perspective, the pressures and processes transforming agriculture and winemaking in Italy today---including state regulations, volatile export markets, mobile populations, and climate change---can be analyzed as recent manifestations of much longer processes. Finally, I explore potential futures for this community, considering how collaborations forged through cultivating the land---partnerships that extend across the boundaries of ethnicity, citizenship, and race---offer forms of security and sustainability to multiple groups that state institutions or agricultural technologies do not.
