- A multi-layered look at this essential wine, beautifully designed to bring the region to life on the page. - Contributions from top Tuscany writers: Andrew Jefford, Hugh Johnson, Nicolas Belfrage MW, Jancis Robinson MW, David Gleave MW, Walter Speller, Gabriele Gorelli MW, Burton Anderson, Ruth Rogers, Neil Beckett, Victoria Moore, Gerald Asher, D H Lawrence, Fiona Morrison MW - The fascinating history and Tuscany's place in the world today, and its aspirations for the future - Full of stories about the innovators and characters - Next in the series after On Burgundy, one of 2023's wine books of the year From the melée and muddle of Italy's vinous past, Tuscany emerged triumphant. The world's restaurants began to clamor for its Chianti and the Super Tuscan rebel-wines that captured the hearts, palates and pockets of any wine lover who sipped them. It found fame and fortune but had it gone too far...? On Tuscany's authors unravel the truths of this enchanted vineyard - its tortured landscape of clashing mountains and upended seas, its mysterious Etruscan forebears, the Medici aristocrats and warring tribes who fought to control it. And the stoic peasants, whose thwarted creativity and intuitive ways with wine won through in the end. It tells the story of its king of grapes, Sangiovese, and the courtiers that grapple for its throne, and of the maverick winemakers who harness this region's passion for wine today, steadying the roller coaster before it once again goes too far and too fast... With contributions from Andrew Jefford, Hugh Johnson, Nicolas Belfrage MW, Jancis Robinson MW, David Gleave MW, Walter Speller, Gabriele Gorelli MW, Burton Anderson, Ruth Rogers, Neil Beckett, Victoria Moore, Gerald Asher, D H Lawrence, Fiona Morrison MW.
