Il libro completo del vino. Con tutte le descrizioni e i dati aggiornati dei vini DOC e DOCG

Now in its nineteenth edition, Giuseppe Sicheri’s longseller contains everything there is to know about wine, from its best-known characteristics to its lesser-known aspects.
Starting from information relating to the vine – important notions to better understand the various stages of wine processing – the complete wine book examines the different vines. While sticking to the specific terminology of the wine language and considering every technical aspect of winemaking, the volume addresses the topic with an informative approach, managing to satisfy all the curiosities of the enthusiast as well as the needs of the expert.
The large final selection of 400 pages is dedicated to Italian DOC and DOCG wines, divided by region and collected in tables reporting their characteristics and data.
The complete book of wine is therefore aimed at all winery enthusiasts, sommeliers, tasters, students of professional agricultural and hotel schools, but also at all those who want to learn more about a product almost as old as our civilization and which has always characterized the agricultural production of our country.
After winning the OIV award – awarded by the Organization internationale de la vigne et du vin, which brings together almost all the wine-growing countries in the world – this book returns to bookstores with a new edition supervised by Luca Martini, best sommelier of the AIS Wsa World 2013.”
