Books by Paolo De Cristofaro
“This book shares incredible depth of knowledge and is a must-read for those wishing to truly engage with Chianti Classico. It’s a testament to 15 years of work on the field by Alessandro Masnaghetti and Paolo De Cristofaro. It was instrumental in creating the delimitation of subzones that are called UGA (additional geographic units) within the Chianti Classico denomination. Alessandro Masnaghetti has been mapping wine areas for Bordeaux and other appellations, but here in Chianti Classico, he delved with extraordinary specificity in order to identify climate areas, soils and temperatures that are presented in the form of maps. There is a reason why he is known as ‘The Map Man’; there is no one like him in the field.” Read more...

The best books on Tuscan Wine, recommended by Gabriele Gorelli
It was Cosimo di Medici who, 300 years ago, decided that Chianti should be a wine from a specific region. Today, Tuscany produces some of Italy's finest wines, including some of the best Sangiovese and the pioneering 'Super Tuscan' wines. Gabriele Gorelli, Italy's first Master of Wine, recommends a selection of books on the wines of Tuscany—from detailed map books for wine geeks to a witty and informative guide to Montalcino, the home of Brunello.
