The annual Slow Wine guide, published by Slow Food Editore, adopts a new approach to wine criticism: not only reviews and organoleptic descriptions but a real wine storytelling where the deep and direct knowledge of the wine companies is the one and only protagonist. We visit all cellars and take into consideration the wine quality, adherence to terroir, value for money and give greater weight and importance to the estates\u2019 production methods. Through the guide and international tour we support and promote small-scale Italian winemakers who are using traditional techniques, working with respect for the environment, and safeguarding the incredible biodiversity of grape varieties that are part of Italy\u2019s heritage.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
