I have recently been introduced to the love of wines and especially European varieties, so when "Wines of Italy: The Definitive Guide to Understanding Italian Wines" came to my attention I eagerly dived in and wasn't disappointed. I like that Ms. Esteves offers a casual yet informative look at the wines of Italy from the Italian wineries that deliver superbly delicious wines to the wine history that is steeped in a history of excellence. It's wonderfully engaging whether you're like me with a very limited knowledge of wines to wine connoisseurs who are just looking to get a different perspective on the beautifully sumptuous wines found in Italy. The book is well-written in a straightforward and passionate writing style, conveying the authors love and knowledge of wine in a vivid and engaging way. Ms. Esteves has written a thoroughly enjoyable and informative guide to understanding Italian wines that was well worth the read.
