Offers a deep dive into the history, viticulture, and enology of Chianti Classico, the wine region and appellation situated snugly between Florence and Siena, distinct from the surrounding production zone simply called Chianti."" The Boston Globe ""Everything you always wanted to know about Chianti Classico (and lots more!) ... Does Chianti Classico live up to my high expectations for it? Yes! A great book for anyone who loves Chianti or Tuscany or ... wine!"" The Wine Economist ""An important new book on Chianti Classico: Winners of the Andre Simon 2013 award for their book The World of Sicilian Wine, Nesto and Di Savino have produced the investigative, scholarly and detailed book that Chianti Classico has long deserved.
