Product Description
Give a toast to the best, most up-to-date, and beautifully photographed reference on Italian wines! The New Italy explores every signifcant development in the country’s wine scene, widely considered one of the world’s most complex. It gives readers a comprehensive and thorough look at all the country’s key wine types, from Barolo, Chianti, and Montepulciano to Sangiovese and the champagne-like sparkling Prosecco. An introduction to Italy’s wine styles and winemaking methods is followed by a region-by-region tour of vineyards, from Piedmont in the north to Calabria in the south. Full-color specially commissioned maps, details of the appellations and grape varieties, background on climate and geography, and profles of the leading producers round out this lively portrait.

 The New Italy August 21, 2003
5 out of 9 found this review helpful
Wonderfully written and a must have for all wine lovers. I have traveled the Italian wine regions and am an enologist and this book was very well written. Also teaching wine educational classes, I was very impressed with the accuracy and details of the Italian wines and regions especially Tuscany and Piedmont! I will be in Italy in 2 weeks and feel like I was in Italy reading this book. Buy, read and sip Italian wines!! Thanks you Marco Sabellico and Daniele Cernilli!

As difficult as it was for me to believe this, I really thought that this book would have been much more comprehensive, not just a vehicle to flatter a handfull of producers that must be current Gambero Rosso "Favoriti". I get as much, if not more, out of my quarterly subscription to the magazine. Ordinarily, I really like Daniele Cernilli's writing along with his willingness to take chances and "Tell it like it is". I wish he had done so here. The regions could have been probed much more in-depth and the producers expanded to mirror the magazine. 3 GENEROUS stars.
Finally Italy!! December 25, 2000
