About this book
Too many people sum up Italian wines in the word Chianti, which is a pity, since Italy offers a whole bouquet of varied wines, from the most luxurious to totally satisfying low-priced wines for daily pleasure. The Wines of Italy - which is the most comprehensive book ever to appear on the subject in English - is a gustatory tour of the Italian cellar, from the Alps to Sicily. Under 600 separate entries Cyril Ray tells the story of the grapes, of the land that grows them, and of the wine they yield. He explains the famous wines like Barolo, Valpolicella, Falerno and Marsala. He introduces his readers to such little known, excellent varieties as Cecubo, Cinqueterre, Sassella, Vernaccia and Corvo Rosso, and makes recommendations. He also discusses the wine associations which are beginning to nourish in Italy. Illustrated with sixteen splendid colour plates and eight pages of maps, The Wines of Italy is a highly enjoyable and useful guide not only to putting down an intelligent cellar, but also to selecting the perfect accompaniment to a very special meal.
