Description
This book explores the connection between wine and geology, revealing the stories behind the names of rocks and soils that host the vines. By understanding geological concepts, you'll gain insight into the processes that shape vineyards and the minerals, rocks, and soils that influence the finished product.
Geological terms such as Jurassic, basalt, and flint are explained in plain language, starting with basic principles, all in the context of wine. The book delves into the human face of geology, exploring how the geology-wine connection manifests in the finished product and evaluates its importance in terms of minerality, terroir, and wine taste.
As the world of wine increasingly promotes the role of geology, this book aims to help it be properly understood. With its systematic approach, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationships between wine, geology, and the land.
