About
the Book:
This slim paperback volume is illustrated
with plates and maps by Pier Luigi Viti and reviews the
history and present situation of the Vino Nobile, Rosso
DOC, Vinsanto, Chianti, Supertuscans, and Grappa, with
interesting information about vine-growing, production,
and the local area. But what makes Pellucci’s book
interesting for the layman, as well as the accessible language,
are the many references to tourism and eating in Montepulciano.
The second part of the book consists of brief but detailed
profiles of 48 wineries subdivided into 5 areas referring
to the routes suggested by the Strada del Vino Nobile,
with advice on accommodation and food. The book thus makes
it possible to discover the history, features, and production
of almost all the wines belonging to the Consortium. It
manages to focus simultaneously on landscape, history,
art, culture, traditions and food (and of course, the history,
features, and production of individual wines) - the basic
ingredients of today’s wine-tourism phenomenon.
