Italy's Native Wine Grape Terroirs (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Italy's Native Wine Grape Terroirs is the definitive reference book on Italy’s myriad crus and grand cru wine production areas of Italy’s native wine grapes. D’Agata’s customary scientific but discursive approach to wine provides an easy to read and enjoyable guide to Italy’s best wine terroirs, enriching his descriptions with geologic data, biotype and clonal information, producer anecdotes and interviews, facts and figures compiled over fifteen years of research devoted to specifically to this wine topic. The terroirs that give Italy’s best wines made with native grapes are described and analyzed in-depth, both well-known (Barolo, Chianti Classico, Brunello di Montalcino) and not (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.
