Brunello to Zibibbo takes as its principal theme the unique indigenous vine varieties of Italy - those grapes which make Italian wine so different and so inexhaustibly fascinating: Chianti, Soave and Frascati, as well as the lesser known varieties. From the Sangiovese of Tuscany, to Alexandrian Muscat from the island of Pantelleria south of Sicily, Nicolas Belfrage presents the various grapes that make up Italy's rich panoply. He discusses the outstanding wines derived from them, and introduces the principal producers.
