THE ITALIAN WINE LOVER'S BIBLE aims to soothe those humble and skittish beginner wine aficionados wanting to understand Italian wine.
How does one comprehend a land growing 2, 000 varietal wines in one million vineyards? The first rule for those on bended knee with a wish to know why they adore the wines of Italy is: Italy is a country of red wines.
Much white is made but it is rarely important.
Italy (the Roman Empire really) is responsible for the dissemination of the great varietals throughout the modern world.
Rome, as it created empire, brought cuttings from the Greeks.
The Greeks had brought cuttings from Mesopotamia.
The wine drinkers of the world are the beneficiaries.
Today Italy is the greatest volume producer of wine in the world.
(From vintage to vintage, France can be number one.
) Cheap and dear, outrageous in complex beauties or simple pleasures, the wines of Italy are exported everywhere.
This book aims to elucidate for ardent emerging oenophiles (literally lovers of wine) the regions responsible for the greatest Italian reds and the producers who year after year display artistic devotion to the grapes of their vineyards.
The international wine world accords Bordeaux Cabernet Sauvignon based wines as the highest expression that grapes can attain.
I will argue that this is wrong.
That this is an opinion foisted on us by the Brits who were the great importers, and subsequently the exporters of what they call 'claret'-the reds of the Bordeaux region.
Google and Amazon are shining examples of 'first in their field take over the field'.
So too did Bordeaux wines seize the high ground in greatness.
The five Premier Cru Class (First Growths) today attain the highest prices vintage after vintage.
I will argue that several red varietals from several regions share the lofty title: Best in the World.
Cabernet Sauvignon (blended with Petit Verdot, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec-the classic Bordeaux blend) will forever share the pantheon of great reds.
But so to.
