About
the Book:
Andrea Zanfi deals here with the history,
distillation, and tasting of grappa; he also documents
his spiritual journey to find the soul and philosophy behind
this often misunderstood drink.
The author sat, talked, ate, and tasted grappa with the
people who make it -- often the same vintners behind the
very best wines in Italy -- and he presents not only their
views on the intense but sometimes surprisingly subtle
flavors of grappa, but the Tuscan lifestyle as well.
His quest is documented in prose and lovely, often
breathtaking photographs of one of the world's most
beautiful and beloved countrysides.
