Italian wines are so numerous that the most fastidious tastes can be satisfied and the most refined requirements met. Not only does the extent of the area planted to vines place Italy at the head of the wine producing countries, but she is ahead of all others for the great variety of her production.

Professor Erika Szymanski makes wine science accessible to non-experts. Rather than approach wine science as body of facts about wine, Szymanski explores how wine science can open up multiple ways of seeing, understanding, and appreciating wine.

This book instead uses scientific research to explore wine as an endlessly rich cultural phenomenon.

"Al termine della prima settimana, seicento assaggi avevano già azzerato ogni mia volontà di capirci ancora qualcosa. In quattro, cinque giorni mi spazzolavo la storia del Barolo o dell'Amarone, pretendendo anche di giudicarla. Era come stilare la classifica dei migliori film della stagione, fermandosi ai titoli di testa. Il mio spettacolo non andava mai oltre l'unghia del bicchiere. E seduti di fronte a me, non vedevo più colleghi e collaboratori, ma polli da batteria, costretti a beccare senza sosta." Con tono schietto e pungente, Tiziano Gaia ci conduce nel mondo dei vini.
