Vino The Essential Guide to Real Italian Wine [Audiobook]

"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
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 listeners 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. Listeners 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 and in-depth explorations of the modern craft, Vino proves there's never been a better time to drink Italian wine.
