Around 10,000 assessed and rated. First class reference, clearly laid out, for buying well at home or travelling with intent in Italy. A who’s hot / who’s not insight into the quality and complexity of the product.

Again around 10,000 wines assessed, rated and scored a la Parker ... the classic book of reference done with real trend spotting authority by its three writers. This and the Gambero Rosso rarely overlap.

Burton Anderson has produced probably the most mouth watering wine book yet. He covers 200 personal favourites across the country. Priceless state of the art view of the Italian wine world.

Covers the lower half of the country with the most exhaustive detail. Sister volume to his Barolo to Valpolicella. Perfect to take on that Tuscan holiday and browse through to pinpoint what to taste, where to visit.

This really is the traveller’s guide. It follows routes through every Italian wine region with places to stop, hotels, sights, which vineyards to visit and an appraisal of every imaginable wine along the way.

Impressive series of easy to carry softbacks that take you from village to village, vineyard to vineyard round major wine areas like Tuscany and Piemonte. Full of details about what to see, where to stay and who’s who.
