Guide to Italian Wine

An Introductory Guide to the Most Important Italian Wines

Sometimes it’s nice to discover something about the wine you are sipping with ease and pleasure.

However, talking about Italian wine is not always easy, and tackling the grape varieties, wines, and history can be daunting, especially if you are looking for a quick solution that can explain the complexities of this world.

The Jumbo Shrimp Guide to Italian Wine was created with the contribution of several professionals in Italian wine - none born in Italy, except one - who chose to tackle this guide out of their desire to translate the complexities of Italian wine into material accessible to everyone.

The authors wanted to create a book that would be easily available for anyone interested in understanding Italian wine in detail but who might be intimidated by the subject.

The book provides all the tools to easily remember the key elements: how to read and understand labels, geographical information underpinning each wine, the various types of grapes, and the most significant wines that could serve as representatives of what is likely the most diverse and appreciated wine production model in the world.

There is no lack of information on this subject; the material available is already exhaustive, but here lies the challenge: discerning which information is essential, which facts are relevant to establish a solid foundation, to initiate a much broader understanding of the subject.

Jumbo Shrimp Guide to Italian Wine successfully offers the most important building blocks to study Italian wine in an accessible way; the main producers, the great wines to watch out for, food and wine pairings, and last but not least, a helpful dictionary to distinguish places, grapes, and names of various wines.
