Description

The Great Book of Italian Sweet Wines by Massimo Zanichelli is a landmark publication, the first of its kind dedicated entirely to the world of Italian sweet wines. More often mentioned than truly understood, these wines represent a vibrant, deeply rooted heritage within Italian viticulture.

This beautifully illustrated volume invites readers on a sensory and cultural journey across Italy — from Alpine vineyards to coastal terroirs and island traditions. It explores the production techniques, grape varieties, and unique terroirs that shape the identity of these captivating wines.

Zanichelli offers a new and original classification of sweet wines based on color and theme, making it easier to navigate the diversity of styles:

  • The straw yellow of Moscato d’Asti,

  • The golden hues of mountain aromatics,

  • The amber tones of southern seaside wines,

  • The mahogany shades of Vin Santo,

  • The ruby red of Aleatico,

  • The deep purple of Recioto della Valpolicella.

Each chapter is enriched with detailed maps, beautiful photographs, and clear technical information, offering both visual and contextual understanding of each wine style. Whether you're a wine professional or an enthusiastic amateur, this book serves as a comprehensive guide and aesthetic experience, reviving the hidden richness of Italian dessert wines.

Published by Giunti Editore in the BEVANDE collection, the book features 352 richly illustrated pages, making it a valuable resource and an elegant gift for all who appreciate the beauty and complexity of Italian wine culture.

A must-have for anyone passionate about oenology, Italian heritage, or the art of wine storytelling.
