Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs (wine usually seems to be made in attractive surroundings) as well as maps, the books in this series describe the wine-producing regions of each country. The authors recommend itineraries, list wineries, describe the local cuisines, suggest wine bars and restaurants, and provide a mass of practical information -- much of which is not readily available elsewhere. Each title includes: -- Itineraries and maps -- Local gastronomic specialties -- Hundreds of visitor-friendly wineries -- Descriptions of local and regional wines -- Museums and sight-seeing points -- Lists of wine festivals and exhibitions -- Restaurants, hotels and wine stores -- Reference section and glossary Italy has probably the richest variety of wines of any country in the world. Every one of the country's 20 regions produces a unique selection of wines, often made with grapes used nowhere else for wine-making. Stephen Hobley describes Italy's most important wine-producing areas, gives the background to the wines, and provides a guide to visiting the best producers. Hundreds of wineries that welcome visitors are listed, together with their addresses, telephone and fax numbers, web sites, and opening times.
