This book explores all the major wine regions of Italy from Piedmont in the north to the islands of Sicily and Sardinia, explaining the major grapes and the best producers. It explains how Italy names its wines (such as Chianti and Pinot Grigio) and how the grapes, both native and 'imported', affect modern Italian wine production.
The book describes 'the best food wines in the universe', and how to pair Italian wine with food in classic and creative combinations, and details how to buy, drink and store Italian wines. A pronunciation guide, a glossary of terms, a vintage chart, a regional map, and grapes-wine classification wine chart are all included.
