“According to Monty Waldin’s erudite foreword, Italy possesses 590 grape varieties planted across more than 500 different regions. Impossible to learn about all this? Not now this wonderful book, master-minded by Stevie Kim and Ian D’Agata, is available on your screens. The Romans called Italy ‘Enotria - The Land of Wine’ and here it all is.”
