Book Reviews of Vino Italiano: The Regional Wines of Italy
Book Review: Getting to Know the Italians
Summary: 4 Stars
I watch "Lydia's Italy" on PBS every Saturday morning. She often has her son Joe on the program with her and he often discusses wine and how it is grown and produced. I purchased this book new because I felt I really needed a book to use as a reference so I could get to know the Italians when I saw them at the wine shop. This book is a that reference book you will keep on your shelf when you want to ask a question and don't have an expert in the house.
The book is broken down into geographic sections of Italy and it is a very easy read. Joe Bastianich does not assume you are an expert but he does not talk down to you either. It is a very good reference book to add to your collection of great wine books. I use mine two or three times per month and recommend it heartily.
Summary of Vino Italiano: The Regional Wines of Italy
At one time, Italian wines conjured images of cheap Chianti in straw-wrapped bottles. More recently, expensive "Super Tuscans" have been the rage. But between these extremes lay a bounty of delicious, moderately priced wines that belong in every wine drinker's repertoire.Vino Italiano is the only comprehensive and authoritative American guide to the wines of Italy. It surveys the country's wine-producing regions; identifies key wine styles, producers, and vintages; and offers delicious regional recipes. Extensive reference materials-on Italy's 300 growing zones, 361 authorized grape varieties, and 200 of the top producers- provide essential information for restaurateurs and wine merchants, as well as for wine enthusiasts.
Beautifully illustrated as well as informative, Vino Italiano is the perfect invitation to the Italian wine experience.
