An introductory guide to the most important Italian wines. Sometimes it is nice to discover something about the wine you are sipping with ease and pleasure. However, talking about Italian wine is not always easy and dealing with 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 book Jumbo Shrimp Guide to Italian Wine has been created with the contribution of several professionals of Italian wine - not born in Italy, except one - who chose to tackle this guide for their desire to translate the complexities of Italian wine into accessible material for all. 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, the geographical information underlying each wine, the various types of grapes, and the most significant wines that could serve as representatives of what is probably the most diverse and appreciated winemaking model in the world. Information on this subject is not lacking; the available material is already exhaustive, but here lies the obstacle: discerning which information is essential, which relevant facts establish a solid foundation for initiating a much broader understanding of the subject. Jumbo Shrimp Guide to Italian Wine successfully offers the most important building blocks for studying 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 useful dictionary to distinguish places, grapes, and the names of various wines.
