Excellent book covering wines from throughout Italy. Written by some one who obviously loves Italian wine it covers wines back to the 1920's (even in one case 1893). The book is totally different from the Robert Parker type of wine book and is in some ways much more informative. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in Italian wine. Bring on another edition.

This book is by far the best book about italian wine i know.

I covers indept allmost every aspect, with describing and rating the producers as the most important.

They have visitet many of the small produceres, who normally don't find there way to these kind of books.

The problems with the book is that it is old. Many things happens in italian wine theese days.

An other problem, or limitation, is the word 'Noble'.

It means that only wine that were considered good at that time is included in the book.
