Read full descriptionHide full description
Producers With 2,136 companies reviewed, Veronelli's Gold Guide to Italian Wines is the most complete guide available on the Italian market, rich in detailed information about producers and wines. In fact, for each company, the Guide lists: contact details (address, telephone number, email, website), the names of the owners/managers and technical managers (oenologist, agronomist), the size (surface area in hectares) of the vineyard or vineyards which supply the grapes, information regarding the agricultural system (biological, bio-dynamic or conventional), if the estate offers the possibility to book visits or overnight stays (number of rooms, apartments, and suites available), opening hours on weekends and purchase options (both direct and online) and any other production (such as extra-virgin olive oil, spirits, jams, cheese, salami and other cured meats). Wines 16,766 wines are described detailing the indication of the cru, the surface area in hectares of the vineyard or vineyards which supply the grapes, the maturation method (steel/cement, barrique, cask or amphora), the number of bottles produced and the price range. Evaluations and scores The qualitative scores, rated on a 0-100 scale, are the result of individual tastings and are followed by the initials of the taster who gave the score. Alongside the 0-100 scale evaluation, each wine is listed using the corresponding ranks (good, very good, excellent or outstanding, debuts and grand debuts). Furthermore, the Gold Guide annually honours five of the finest wines per category with the Best Tasting award, and the ten Sun awards, special awards given by the Editorial board. Features Furthermore, the app offers several additional features, such as FIND THE WINE, FIND THE PRODUCER, PRODUCER OF THE DAY, THE AWARDS and WINES OF ITALY. Thanks to the renewed search functions, it is possible to explore and discover the Italian wine heritage quickly and intuitively. Those features provide effective support both to the consumer and the professional in the purchase process and an essential guide for wine tourists visiting the wine districts of Italy. The WINES OF ITALY section guides the readers across every region, from the north to the south of the peninsula, through a focus on local wines awarded with the Three Gold Stars, descriptions of the reviewed producers (listed in alphabetical order), and a selection of the Finest Drinking Places (restaurants and wine bars that take great care with their oenological offer).
