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.
