Italiano: The Regional Wines of Italy.
At one time, Italian wines conjured

Tuscans” have been the rage. But
between these extremes lay a bounty
of delicious, moderately priced wines

wines of Italy. It surveys the country’s
wine-producing regions; identifies key
wine styles, producers, and vintages;

authorized grape varieties, and 200
of the top producers— provide

and wine merchants, as well as for wine
enthusiasts. Read
