Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
The Italian wine bible for a new generation—a superstar sommelier and restaurateur explores the dynamic world of contemporary Italian wine.
“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
ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times
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 readers 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. Readers 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, in-depth explorations of the modern craft, and stunning photography, Vino proves there's never been a better time to drink Italian wine.

“I loved this book. Though it sometimes it got too into individual winemaker's stories, it was otherwise very enjoyable and educational. The audiobook was sometimes hard to follow, so I'd recommend buying a psychical copy.”

“Stunning photos of landscapes, food and of course, wine. I loved reading about the author’s introduction, history and story. As a beginner wine taster and novice learner of all things wine, I appreciated the description of the different growth cycle pyramids and grapes and terroir. I found the history of the evolution of Italian wine really added to the context of the book and I loved the description of the different types of wine from the sparkling to the whites, and reds.
I loved the section on the wine regions of Italy along with the pictures which added an authenticity to the book. Highlights of regional wine makers along with their family stories was a lovely addition within the context of the book. Overall it was a beautiful compilation and look into the a beautiful culture and rich history of wine making in Italy. I’m not gonna lie, after reviewing this book I’m having serious travel envy.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this eARC for my honest opinion. It was an honour to go on this trip with the author!”
