A guide to the best Italian wines produced with international grape varieties, written by Attilio Scienza, Rebecca Lawrence, and Jacopo Fanciulli. Jumbo Shrimp Guide to International Grape Varieties in Italy was created through the collaboration of three authors who realized that in the study of lesser-known varieties and the search for less familiar wines, many great grapes, denominations, and wines are overlooked by recent literature on Italian wine. It is true that Italy has more than 500 native grape varieties registered nationally, but in many regions some of the best wines are produced with international grape varieties. The team wanted to explore this topic for the first time in a dedicated book, examining not only the wines made from these grapes but also their history in the country, their rise in popularity, and how they are growing. It begins with a discussion on what makes a grape international. The team thought it important to include some pages dedicated to how wines produced from international grape varieties in Italy can be distinguished from those produced elsewhere. This book is designed to be appreciated by the casual consumer but is also a useful tool for students and more experienced tasters. All of this is conceived in the typical style of the Jumbo Shrimp guide: key information is presented in an accessible and fun way and does not have to be read chronologically; the reader can follow the order they prefer. Language: English Pages: 128
