Johnson's illuminating descriptions, wisdom and knowledge coupled with more than 100 breathtaking photographs capture the very essence of Tuscany and bring the author's passion for the region's distinctive grape varietals to life. This book is for everyone enthralled by Tuscany's sacred marriage of light and landscape, food and wine, beauty and history.
