Description
An introductory guide to the most important Italian wines Sometimes it's nice to discover something about the wine you're sipping with ease and pleasure. However, talking about Italian wine is not always easy, and tackling the grape varieties, wines, and history can be daunting, especially if you're looking for a quick solution that can explain the complexities of this world. The book Jumbo Shrimp Guide to Italian Wine was created thanks to the contribution of several Italian wine professionals - not born in Italy, except for one - who chose to engage with this guide out of their desire to translate the complexities of Italian wine into material accessible to everyone. The authors wanted to create a book that was easily available to anyone interested in understanding Italian wine in detail, but who might be intimidated by the subject. The book offers all the tools to easily remember the key elements: how to read and understand labels, the geographical information behind each wine, the various types of grapes, and the most significant wines that could serve as representatives of what is probably the most diverse and appreciated wine production model in the world. There is no shortage of information on this subject, the material available is already exhaustive, but here lies the challenge: discerning which information is essential, which facts are relevant to establish a solid foundation, to initiate a much broader understanding of the subject. Jumbo Shrimp Guide to Italian Wine successfully offers the most important building blocks for studying Italian wine in an accessible way; the main producers, the great wines to watch out for, food and wine pairings, and last but not least, a useful dictionary to distinguish the places, grapes, and names of the various wines.
