The bible for every aspiring sommelier and for enthusiasts of Italy’s most iconic beverage: wine.
A comprehensive manual that covers every aspect, from viticulture to oenology, from national and international wine geography to tasting. It serves as an indispensable resource for studying the sommelier profession in Italy and around the world.
Vaccarini’s volume allows readers to acquire a well-rounded technical and cultural knowledge not only about the world of wine, but also about other beverages that accompany meals. The new sommelier, as interpreted by modern dining, must also be able to understand and pair food with spirits, liqueurs, infusions, or mineral waters.
With forewords by William Wouters, President of ASI – Association de la Sommellerie Internationale, and Marco Gatti, food and wine journalist and critic.
