Product Description
Product Description
The tenth edition of "Italian Wines", published by Gambero Rosso and "Slow Food Editore", a translation of the twentieth edition of the Italian version, is the world's most complete guide to quality Italian wines. Richer and more complete than ever, its 960 pages assess over 2,200 wine producers and their labels. Over 16,000 wines are reviewed, selected by a team of more than 120 tasters under the direction of GR and SFE. "Italian Wines 2007", besides evaluating wines according to the classic categories of one, two or three glasses, also includes a useful series of appendixes about award-winning wines in the past and the best producers. The guide also pays special attention to wineries that are sensitive to the environment and to achieving naturalness in their products.

important resource for italian wine reviews
14 Jun 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase
while the impartiality of the Gambero Rosso Guide has long been questioned, this guide nonetheless is an important reference for anyone interested in Italian wines. Few wineries in Italy do NOT make it into the guide, which in itself is valuable. Secondly, the actual reviews of the wines are generally informative. Whether or not you believe in the validity of a review system based on 1-3 glasses, there is a wealth of information here, and often regarding wines and vintages that have not been reviewed in the more "authoritative" (for lack of a better word) international publications. The reviews are also timely: whereas Spectator or the Advocate tend to be eternally stuck a vintage behind distibutors' and retail availability, the Gambero Rosso is usually up-to-date with the latest vintage.

The "Bible" of Italian wines. Most of the Italian wines found in good wine shops can be found in this book so you can compare before buying and the critiques are "right on".
