>>> BlackFriday Grandi Vini: An Opinionated Tour of Italy's 89 Finest Wines
This book contains a brief presentation of the wines the author considers as Italy's finest. Despite being based on a personal view I find it particularly useful for the beginner or apprentice in Italian wine since he/she will get introduced to some wines which are considered as Italian classics (like Cepparello Tignanello Barolo Monfortino Riserva etc.) but will also discover hidden treasures like Arnaldo Caprai's Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni. All Italy's wine producing areas are represented here but of course the book is too brief to include all Italian wine gems so many of them are missing. The book is quite pleasent and easy to read and includes a fair amount of information on the people behind the wines. I think a "best vintages" list on every wine included here would be a usefull addition for the reader.
