Native Wine Grapes of Italy

"Ian D'Agata was born to write this exhaustive, indispensable book on Italian wine grapes. His passion is indefatigable and his writing effortless. His willingness to demolish myths makes this the definitive word on the subject." John Mariani, author of The Dictionary of Italian Food and Drink and How Italian Food Conquered the World "Ian D'Agata's amazingly comprehensive new guide enables adventurous wine lovers to investigate Italy's vast storehouse of native grapes. Think of this book as a GPS device for finding each variety--from world-renowned to nearly extinct--in its greatest manifestations." Stephen Tanzer, Editor/Publisher, International Wine Cellar
