Description
Italy's wine diversity is often overlooked in favour of its famous Barolo and Brunello. This book sets out to change that perception, exploring the lesser-known wines that make up Italy's rich viticultural heritage. With over 550 entries from more than 475 producers, it offers a detailed look at the everyday wines that underpin the Italian wine industry, alongside their more famous counterparts. From Soave to Dolcetto, and Verdicchio to Nero d'Avola, this comprehensive guide provides an insider's perspective on Italy's most distinctive wines. Written by an American journalist with extensive knowledge of Italy's wine regions, it delves into the world of Italian winemaking, revealing the people behind the products and the sense of place that defines them. By exploring the full range of Italy's wines, this book provides a unique insight into the country's rich cultural heritage.
