The 2020 Edition contains up-to-the-minute information on more than 6000 wines and growers, quick reference vintage charts, illustrated supplements on organic, natural and biodynamic wines, the Italy section is once again co-authored by Michele Longo and Ian D’Agata. They have renewed most of the entries and inserted a number of new estates.
“Affordable, comprehensive, up-to-date and easy to take along, this small, compact reference book
is the best travel companion for all those who love wine. Working with Ian, I’ve tried hard to succeed
in expressing the essence of a grape variety, a wine, a winery or the distinctive characteristics of a denomination and its best interpreters in just a few lines. My thanks to ultra-passionate and super-competent Margaret Rand, our General Editor, who allows us every year to renew and enrich the Italy Section so as to contribute with this guide to making our grapes, our wines and the incredible work and passion of Italian producers better known” Michele Longo states.
