Italian Wine Expert Drops New Book on the Boot

Author Marc Millon has been traveling, eating, drinking, learning and writing about wine, food and travel for more than 40 years. Italy in a Wineglass travels through vineyards and time, reflected through the lens of the wine bottle. In the book you'll learn about how wine shaped the famous peninsula, and how its history would be incomplete without it. From mistresses to Dante, nobody has escaped untouched. Perfect for fans of travel, history, Italy, and wine, Italy in a Wineglass has it all.

In the book you'll learn about:

• Barolo Mirafiore , produced on a wine estate that the first king of Italy, Vittorio Emanuele II, granted to his mistress Rosa Vercellana
• Centopassi by Libera Terra made from grapes grown on lands confiscated from the Mafia
• Brunello di Montalcino ‘Prime Donne’ , a wine crafted entirely by women at every phase of production, including blending by a female international panel of experts

And much much more!
