Assouline"Wine & Travel Italy" Book by Enrico Bernardo

Italy’s wines reflect its history and culture. Its winemaking traditions are richly nuanced, with thousands of small terroirs and vineyards whose varietals, appellations, and soils appear ever more colorfully varied the better you get to know them. Some of Italy’s wines are legendary, whether it is a twenty-year-old Trebbiano d’Abruzzo and its smoky minerality or a fifty-year-old Barolo or Brunello di Montalcino. Traveling the wine routes of Italy is never monotonous: each wine-growing region has its own flavors and its own light.

In the company of world-renowned sommelier Enrico Bernardo, immerse yourself in the author’s childhood home, in an enchanting voyage through the vineyards of Italy’s diverse wine regions. Within the pages of Wine & Travel Italy, you will find a tour of delightful experiences waiting at each stop, from iconic vintages to hidden treasures. Brace yourself for a sumptuous odyssey, where fine dining, luxurious stays, and the quest for the ultimate glass of wine unfold against the backdrop of Italy’s mesmerizing landscapes.

Part of Assouline’s new Wine & Travel Series, which explores emblematic destinations through the lens of wine tourism, this edition features an exhaustive list of the best Italian vineyards to discover and a helpful glossary while also providing a deep dive into the country’s best and finest wineries.

About Assouline
We created this company to be the first luxury brand on culture. We wanted to supply everything for a contemporary library; we started working with top perfumers for scented candles, with Goyard for a book trunk, with Chanel on a quilted leather slipcase, and so on. Now we are expanding the Assouline lifestyle brand in stores in the most important cities of the world. We love and believe in books more than everything else, but we also want to extend our vision to create all that can be expected in a chic and personalized library, from beautiful books and special editions to luxury gift items, unique library accessories, and now a complete turnkey collection of stylish furniture. Our digital world goes faster than ever and nothing remains of it, but books are a solid part of our past and present. They are also beautiful. For us, books are a matter of intellect and emotion; heritage and innovation. Information is not only about today, and the past is a sensational source of inspiration.
