Set against the backdrop of a picturesque island, a winemaker finds solace after losing his estate in Tuscany. Byron Blyseth opens a wine bar named Boccadoro, where he showcases his exceptional tasting skills. His life takes a turn when he meets Livia, a talented cook and widow, whose culinary talents elevate the bar to stardom. Their budding romance intertwines with the challenges of their pasts, creating a rich narrative of love, loss, and the pursuit of passion in both food and wine.
This is the first book to comprehensively gazetteer every wine district in Italy, from Sicily to the Alps. Each major Italian wine zone is mapped in detail with explanations of where all the best wines come from, how they are made and by whom. The estates and vineyards of top producers are indicated as are the elements of soil and climate that determine quality. The maps are complemented by beautiful, specially-commissioned photographs which introduce the reader to the ravishing landscapes of Italy.
