Tuscany and Its Wines
By Hugh Johnson Photography by Andy Katz
World-renowned wine expert Hugh Johnson's elegant tribute to Tuscany is now available in paperback—a richly rewarding volume in prose and image for those who enjoy the region's exquisite marriage of wine and food, beauty and history. Traveling from town to town, from hilltop to farmland, Johnson not only explores the Tuscan geography and wineries, but also shares the culture and sites—from a stunning cathedral in Siena to a good place for a relaxing glass of wine in Monte Amiata. Poetic, illuminating descriptions combine with over 100 atmospheric photos to capture the essence of Tuscany and bring the author's passion for the region’s distinctive grape varietals to life. Glass of Brunello in one hand, Tuscany and Its Wines in the other—perfect armchair reading!
