Vino Italiano

By Joseph Bastianich & David Lynch

Italy produces more wine than any other nation and consumes more wine per capita than any other place on earth. It's no wonder one needs a guide, and this is the one you should buy - whether you're sipping vino italiano in Rome or in the comfort of your own living room.

One reviewer says:

Vino Italiano is a difficult book to describe. It's part wine guide, part travelogue, part cookbook, and part cultural history. It's a love song to Italy and Italian wine that has the flavor of a coffee table book, but without the color plates and oversize format. It's a reference work and a highly personal account of a subject the authors know well and enjoy sharing. In short, it's a classic.
