Customer Reviews

important resource for italian wine reviews
while the impartiality of the Gambero Rosso Guide has long been questioned, this guide nonetheless is an important reference for anyone interested in Italian wines. Few wineries in Italy do NOT make it into the guide, which in itself is valuable. Secondly, the actual reviews of the wines are generally informative. Whether or not you believe in the validity of a review system based on 1-3 glasses, there is a wealth of information here, and often regarding wines and vintages that have not been reviewed in the more "authoritative" (for lack of a better word) international publications. The reviews are also timely: whereas Spectator or the Advocate tend to be eternally stuck a vintage behind distibutors' and retail availability, the Gambero Rosso is usually up-to-date with the latest vintage.

Vino Italiano
