Assouline The Classics Collection: Wine & Travel Italy

Italy’s wines are a reflection of its soul—rooted in history, shaped by culture, and enriched by an extraordinary diversity of terroirs. With thousands of small vineyards scattered across the country, each with its own varietals, traditions, and microclimates, Italian winemaking is a mosaic of colors, aromas, and flavors. From the smoky depth of a well-aged Trebbiano d’Abruzzo to the timeless elegance of a vintage Barolo or Brunello di Montalcino, Italy’s wines are legendary. And the journey through its wine regions is anything but ordinary—each one offers its own unique light, taste, and story.

Guided by world-renowned sommelier Enrico Bernardo, Wine & Travel Italy invites readers on an immersive voyage through the vineyards of his homeland. This exquisite volume captures the essence of Italian wine tourism, offering curated experiences that blend iconic vintages with hidden gems, luxurious stays, and unforgettable meals—all set against Italy’s breathtaking landscapes.
