The Italian wine bible for a new generation--a superstar sommelier
and restaurateur explores the dynamic world of contemporary Italian
wine.
"Joe gives us the gift of learning about the ever-evolving landscape
of the world's most soulful (and might I say favorite?) wine
region."--Danny Meyer
ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times
Acclaimed Italian wine expert, sommelier, winemaker, and restaurateur,
Joe Campanale presents a comprehensive guide that is as transportive as
it is deeply educational. Vino dives into the dynamic landscape of
Italian wine today, where a new generation of winemakers is eschewing
popular international styles, championing long-forgotten indigenous
grapes, and adopting sustainable approaches best suited for their local
climates.
In an epic quest through Italy's 20 regions that takes readers from the
steep hills of Valle d'Aosta to the near-tropical climates of Sicily,
Campanale uncovers and profiles the diversity of real Italian wine and
the most exciting, game-changing producers in each area. Readers will
leave with countless recommendations for exceptional winemakers and be
armed with Campanale's empowering new rubric of quality (say goodbye to
the Italian wine pyramid). Full of colorful stories, in-depth
explorations of the modern craft, and stunning photography, Vino
proves there's never been a better time to drink Italian wine.
