Vino: The Italian wine bible for a new generation—a superstar sommelier and restaurateur explores the dynamic world of contemporary Italian wine.

"Joe gives us the gift of learning about the ever-evolving landscape of the world's most soulful (and might I say favourite?) wine region." —Danny Meyer

One of the best cookbooks of the year — The New York Times

Acclaimed Italian wine expert, sommelier, winemaker, and restaurateur Joe Campanale presents a comprehensive guide that is as transportive as it is deeply educational. Vino dives into the dynamic landscape of Italian wine today, where a new generation of winemakers is eschewing popular international styles, championing long-forgotten indigenous grapes, and adopting sustainable approaches best suited for their local climates.

In an epic quest through Italy's 20 regions that takes readers from the steep hills of Valle d'Aosta to the near-tropical climates of Sicily, Campanale uncovers and profiles the diversity of real Italian wine and the most exciting, game-changing producers in each area.

Readers will leave with countless recommendations for exceptional winemakers and be armed with Campanale's empowering new rubric of quality (say goodbye to the Italian wine pyramid). Full of colourful stories, in-depth explorations of the modern craft, and stunning photography, Vino proves there's never been a better time to drink Italian wine.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Vino by Joshua David Stein and Joe Campanale is praised for its approachable and engaging style. The book is described as genial, practical, and unpretentious, with thoughtful observations and excellent recommendations. Reviewers appreciate its clear, opinionated perspective, and how it captures both the tradition and excitement of Italian wines. It's noted for making the subject of Italian wine accessible and exciting, filled with passion and personal insights.
