This book reads like a scenic drive through a year in an Italian vineyard. The vine to wine journey is a knowledgeable and explorative account which provides the reader with an insight that will enhance the enjoyment and understanding behind the general 'house wine' of Italy. 'Sfuso' is a term used for Italian regional wine that is readily consumed daily from farmhouse to villa, besides being a standard wine offered at many eateries throughout the peninsula. The story also traces country traditions, cultural changes, and relates historical anecdotes with comparisons that will embellish the understanding and panorama of Italian country life. An absorbing read for wine enthusiasts, Italophiles, and travellers alike, whilst providing a fresh and informed appreciation of viticulture amongst the hills of Tuscany.
