Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Wine Book 2020

Once again this year, the Italy section of the “Hugh Johnson Pocket Wine Book” (now in its 43rd year of publication – General Editor: Margaret Rand) that will be available this coming summer, will be edited by Ian

 

D’Agata and Michele Longo. According to D’Agata, “… I have looked upon the Italy section in Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Wine Book as a magnificent opportunity to paint as complete and as accurate a picture as possible of Italy’s fascinating if very complex world of wine. Therefore, Michele Longo (my longtime associate and co-editor of this section) and I have given plenty of attention to the many unique territories, denominations, wines and grape varieties that make Italy such a fantastic wine place. And being independent, we are able to give those Italian wine grapes and wines that are outstanding but often forgotten elsewhere the attention they deserve. I hope you enjoy reading this book’s Italy section as much we do writing it”.
