Slow Wine USA Guide 2024

A year in the life of the vineyards and wines of the USA.

Currently, 402 wine producers out of 11,600 in the US (less than 4%) are now committed to the Slow Wine doctrine of producing clean wines without using chemicals. Their commitment takes work. Cultivating grapes according to organic standards is challenging. The growers are focused on climate resilience and diversity.

It would help if you did not judge this book by its simple cover or lack of photographs or illustrations. This book is a fantastic resource for enthusiasts of clean wines, environmentally safe farming, and forthcoming new varietals to be released by innovative vignerons.

It's an incredible true story.

Famiglia Zingarelli

The Zingarelli family's true-life fairytale is a fantastic Italian success story.

The patriarch, Italo Zingarelli, began his career as one of Italy's youngest professional boxers. He later became a successful director, producer, and screenwriter. His career in producing Spaghetti Westerns rivaled Sergio Leone's. Italo's most significant releases are They Call Me Trinity, and Trinity is Still My Name, which gained millions of fans.

After a string of successes in 1973, Italo, of Emilia-Romagna descent, pursued his dream of delving into the Italian wine industry by launching Rocca delle Macie in Tuscany. This book came about in 2023 on the eve of the wine brand's fiftieth anniversary. Rocca Delle Macie released a 50th-anniversary wine to pair with the book, 50° ANNIVERSARIO, a 2020 Chianti Classico Gran Selizione DOCG ***** 1.5 L: $150

The book is beautifully designed, with an elegant cover and wrap embellishments. It contains historical black-and-white photographs, movie set images, and jaw-dropping color photographs.
