Veneto We Others and Wine
Andrea Zanfi
The Veneti have been making wine since Venetia was conquered by Rome in the Second Punic War. In the sixth installment to Carlo Cambi's Great Wine Regions of Italy, Andrea Zanfi explores this ancient land and people, and discovers just what it is that creates this inimitable style of winemaking. Veneto reveals 63 wineries and their wine- makers, detailing the history, agricultural practices, and prized wines. This original work, richly illustrated with the photographs of Gio Martorana, will surprise and delight the reader, whether he or she is an enthusiast of Italian wine or not. All that's needed is an appreciation for beauty.

Tuscany Soul of Wine
Andrea Zanfi
Tuscany is the eighth volume in the Carlo Cambi series, Great Wine Regions of Italy. This is a profile of the land, people and history that made Tuscany the greatest wine producing region of Italy. Their stories have never been rendered in such detail, and in such a lavish publication. All the greatest wineries and winemakers of Tuscany are profiled, with their prized vintages. The legacies of many of these winemaking dynasties go back hundreds of years. Some to the time of the Medici. All of them are a product of this ancient land, and their wines evoke that sense of place and past.
Hardcover, 12 x 12 inches, 477pp., full-color illustrations, maps and charts. $98.95 SKU: 8130; ISBN: 978-88-6403-005-0
Seventh in the Carlo Cambi Great Wine Regions of Italy series, Lombardia: The Mosaic of Wine is a sweeping narrative of that region's unique wine making history, told in Zanfi's evocative prose. This book is a product of years of painstaking research, that creates in effect the most sincere and detailed characterization of the wines and winemakers of this beautiful region of Italy ever commit- ted to print. Fifty-eight wineries are profiled in this book. They are relative unknowns in the world of wine. Unlike their Old World counterparts, which are trending toward big, fruity, high alcoholic wines, these vintners adhere to their traditions. And as the author attests, "These (wines) gift to us a glimpse of the character of an oft times forgotten past."
