This review is from: The New Italy: A Complete Guide to Contemporary Italian Wine (Hardcover)
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.

A Companion piece that puts a face on dizzying array of Italian wine regions,

This review is from: The New Italy: A Complete Guide to Contemporary Italian Wine (Paperback)
While this would certainly not be my first pick as a reference book for Italian wine, it is an enjoyable addition to the shelf.
For those who want regions to come alive with photographs, this book will accomplish that - and most likely whet ones appetite for a visit to Italy, where the next stage of study awaits.

This review is from: The New Italy: A Complete Guide to Contemporary Italian Wine (Hardcover)
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!
