📝 Description: Italy's Native Wine Grape Terroirs
A New York Times and Food & Wine Best Wine Book of 2019 Italy's Native Wine Grape Terroirs is the definitive reference book on the myriad crus and the grand cru wine production areas of Italy's native wine grapes. Ian D'Agata's approach to discussing wine, both scientific and discursive, provides an easy-to-read, enjoyable guide to Italy's best terroirs. Descriptions are enriched with geologic data, biotype and clonal information, producer anecdotes and interviews, and facts and figures compiled over fifteen years of research devoted to wine terroirs. In-depth analysis is provided for the terroirs that produce both the well-known wines (Barolo, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino) and those not as well-known (Grignolino d'Asti, Friuli Colli Orientali Picolit, Ischia). Everyday wine lovers, beginners, and professionals alike will find this new book to be the perfect complement to D'Agata's previous award-winning Native Wine Grapes of Italy.

While praised for its scientific approach and comprehensive coverage of Italian terroirs, this text may not suit readers seeking narrative storytelling or simple tasting notes. It is dense with geologic data and clonal information, which might overwhelm casual drinkers preferring lighter fare. However, for those invested in the technical aspects of viticulture, it offers a robust, authoritative resource. The discursive style aids readability, yet the specialized focus on production areas limits its appeal to general food writers. It stands as a definitive guide for serious students of Italian wine geography.
