Italian Wine Essentials

Vino, the Italian wine bible for a new generation, is a comprehensive guide presented by acclaimed Italian wine expert, sommelier, winemaker, and restaurateur, Joe Campanale. This work is as transportive as it is deeply educational, delving into the dynamic landscape of Italian wine today. A new generation of winemakers is eschewing popular international styles, championing long-forgotten indigenous grapes, and adopting sustainable approaches best suited for their local climates.

In an epic quest through Italy's 20 regions, Campanale uncovers and profiles the diversity of real Italian wine and the most exciting, game-changing producers in each area. Readers will be taken from the steep hills of Valle d'Aosta to the near-tropical climates of Sicily, leaving with countless recommendations for exceptional winemakers and armed with Campanale's empowering new rubric of quality, bidding farewell to the traditional Italian wine pyramid.

Full of colorful stories and in-depth explorations of the modern craft, accompanied by stunning photography, Vino proves there has never been a better time to drink Italian wine. As Danny Meyer eloquently states, "Joe gives us the gift of learning about the ever-evolving landscape of the world's most soulful (and might I say favorite?) wine region."

This work has been recognized as one of the best cookbooks of the year by The New York Times. Vino is a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the Italian wine industry, championed by a new generation of passionate winemakers. Readers will embark on a captivating journey, discovering the rich tapestry of Italy's wine regions and the producers who are redefining the art of winemaking in this historic and beloved wine country.
