in vino veritas
An excellent book for those wishing to expand their knowledge of Italian wines.Simple rating system(unlike Parker)of 3 "glasses" for the top wines.Like all reference books,this is only a guide,and you should use only to read up before you buy wine.Your own tasting notes about what you like and don't like should be added and cross compared,then you will start to get a feel about whether your likes and dislikes mesh with the book.
