"The world’s first book devoted exclusively to Chianti Classico as a territory, its communes, its vineyards, the Unità Geografica Aggiuntiva (UGAs) and the style of wines produced in them. A veritable atlas that is the result of fifteen years of intense and meticulous work, enriched by an innovative geological study and more than 140 maps of unsurpassed detail, featuring the vineyards of 394 estates. An appendix includes a rich dictionary of place names and wineries, with an updated list of the Chianti Classico wines they produce and the UGAs in which they have vineyards. Completing the book are eight tourist itineraries to discover the most fascinating corners of Chianti Classico, off the beaten path, as well as numerous tips on how and when to drink this splendid wine known throughout the world. A must-have for professionals and wine lovers." Appears to be signed by Alessandro Masnaghetti on a tipped-in page at the front of the volume. First edition. No dust jacket. Corners are bumpe
