What you'll find inside

From the bunch to the table, step by step

The book follows wine in the same order in which it is made and enjoyed: first the vineyard, then the glass. Each chapter ends with a practical tasting to bring what you've learned to the glass.

  • Viticulture and winemaking

    How grapes are grown and how each style of wine is born: reds, whites, rosés, sparkling, fortified and sweet wines.

  • Tasting with method

    A systematic tasting approach and a tasting sheet to describe any wine with confidence.

  • Grape varieties

    The grapes worth knowing and the styles of wine they produce.

  • The great regions

    A journey through Europe and the New World, with illustrated maps so you never get lost.

  • At the table

    Labels, storage, service and food pairing, with a glossary and quick reference tables.

To give as a gift

The perfect gift for the holidays

With Christmas getting closer, Vino Esencial is a perfect handbook to give: an elegant, carefully made and useful book that keeps being used long after the wrapping paper comes off.

For individuals

For those who enjoy wine, it's the gift that shows them why they like what they like; and for those just starting out, the best way in. If it's a gift, you can add a dedication in your own words: just mention it when you place your order.

For companies

An original gift for your clients or employees: instead of the usual hamper, a useful book that stays at home or in the office. If you'd like several copies, write to me and we'll prepare your order in good time.
