Sono ormai quarant'anni che scrivo di vino, ma ogni giorno imparo qualche cosa di nuovo. Per questo non mi sorprendo quando scopro che molte persone provano un certo timore nei confronti di questo argomento. Lo scopo di questo libro è condividere le mie conoscenze con voi e trasformarvi in veri esperti di vino in 24 ore, sfrondando tutto ciò che non è essenziale per mettere in primo piano ciò che veramente conta.

Wine enthusiasts everywhere rejoice! Wine Grapes provides absolutely everything the connoisseur wants to know about the succulent, remarkable fruit that care, love, skill, and time transform into humankind’s most beloved beverage—and presents it all in a stunningly beautiful, gorgeously illustrated package. The dazzling co-creation of Jancis Robinson, one of the world’s best known wine authorities, Julia Harding, who passed the Master of Wine exams at the top of her class, and internationally renowned botanist José Vouillamoz, Wine Grapes is the first complete compendium in more than a century to all grape varieties relevant to the wine lover. An exquisite gift book—and a must-own for anyone in the food and wine industry—Wine Grapes charts the relationships of the grapes (with some astounding family trees), discusses in fascinating detail where and how they are grown, and, most importantly, what the wines made from them will ultimately taste like.
