  The definitive guide to these wines, especially to the unique indigenous vine varieties of Italy - those grapes which make Italian wine so different and so inexhaustibly fascinating. Brunello to Zibbibo is a companion volume to Barolo to Valpolicella: The Wines of Northern Italy. It travels southerly, from the Sangiovese to the Alexandrian Muscat, off the Tunisian coast. The author, a wine writer and erstwhile specialist importer, looks at the grapes and the wines derived from them and introduces the principal producers. He lingers over Tuscany, and reveals much about the new wines emerging in the south, opening up a very different world of wine.
