The Italian wine bible for a new generation--a superstar sommelier and restaurateur explores the dynamic world of contemporary Italian wine.
"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."--Danny Meyer
ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times
Acclaimed Italian wine expert, sommelier, winemaker, and restaurateur, Joe Campanale presents a comprehensive guide that is as transportive as it is deeply educational. Vino dives into the dynamic landscape of Italian wine today, where 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 that takes readers from the steep hills of Valle d'Aosta to the near-tropical climates of Sicily, Campanale uncovers and profiles the diversity of real Italian wine and the most exciting, game-changing producers in each area. Readers will leave with countless recommendations for exceptional winemakers and be armed with Campanale's empowering new rubric of quality (say goodbye to the Italian wine pyramid). Full of colorful stories, in-depth explorations of the modern craft, and stunning photography, Vino proves there's never been a better time to drink Italian wine.

"The Italian wine bible for a new generation that explores the dynamic world of contemporary Italian wine, from a superstar sommelier. As an acclaimed sommelier with an intense focus on this beloved region, Joe Campanale is one of the key advocates and storytellers of Italian wine. In his debut, Vino, he tells the thrilling story of the dynamic landscape of Italian wine today: how a new generation of winemakers are embracing the land in every way by eschewing popular international styles, championing long-forgotten native grapes, and adopting sustainable approaches best suited for their local climates. To reexamine what Italian wine is now, and importantly, what it could be, Joe proposes a new rubric of quality based on three overlapping values: native grapes, exceptional terroir, and talented winemakers. He explores the exciting new trends and styles of wine to which this renaissance of artisanal wine has given birth--from pét-nats, orange wines, aged white wines, and more. Joe's epic quest through Italy's twenty regions takes him from the steep hills of Valle d'Aosta to the near-tropical climates of Sicily, and he uncovers and profiles the wonderful wines and producers in each. The stunning beauty of these areas were captured by photographer Oddur Thorisson, making this book as transportive as it is educational. Readers will meet scores of interesting characters deeply devoted to their craft and leave with a new appreciation of the fruits of their labor and a profound understanding of why there's never been a better time to drink Italian wine"-- Provided by publisher.
