Book excerpt: Author Victor D'Amico and his wife, Yvonne, are both of Italian heritage. Although Vic's parents did not maintain ties with their origins, Yvonne's and her parents were very close to relatives and friends from Piedmont, and her intimate knowledge of the language and customs of her parent's birthplace, adds a unique perspective to this exploration of the region's attractions. Share with Vic his personal and rewarding experiences of connecting with the people, the land, the cuisine, and the history of a different culture. He introduces us to a region with rich traditions and natural attributes that are enjoyed by its people. The story of the author's Bonding with Piedmont covers over 50 years and gives a glimpse into a marriage and family as well as a window into people's behavior. You learn about Piedmont's history, its emergence as a leader in Italy's recovery from the war and mentally savor the area's splendid cuisine. When the author's son asks his parents to arrange his wedding near his grandmother's village, the bonding achieves new heights. Bonding with Piedmont shows the author gaining an appreciation of his Italian heritage and reveals his conversion into a proud and knowledgeable proponent of a remarkable part of Italy with which few Americans are aware.

Download or read book Barolo and Barbaresco written by Kerin O Keefe and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2014-10-17 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following on the success of her books on Brunello di Montalcino, renowned author and wine critic Kerin OÕKeefe takes readers on a historic and in-depth journey to discover Barolo and Barbaresco, two of ItalyÕs most fascinating and storied wines. In this groundbreaking new book, OÕKeefe gives a comprehensive overview of the stunning side-by-side growing areas of these two world-class wines that are separated only by the city of Alba and profiles a number of the fiercely individualistic winemakers who create structured yet elegant and complex wines of remarkable depth from ItalyÕs most noble grape, Nebbiolo. A masterful narrator of the aristocratic origins of winemaking in this region, OÕKeefe gives readers a clear picture of why Barolo is called both the King of Wines and the Wine of Kings. Profiles of key Barolo and Barbaresco villages include fascinating stories of the families, wine producers, and idiosyncratic personalities that have shaped the area and its wines and helped ignite the Quality Wine Revolution that eventually swept through all of Italy. The book also considers practical factors impacting winemaking in this region, including climate change, destructive use of harsh chemicals in the vineyards versus the gentler treatments used for centuries, the various schools of thought regarding vinification and aging, and expansion and zoning of vineyard areas. Readers will also appreciate a helpful vintage guide to Barolo and Barbaresco and a glossary of useful Italian wine terms.
